Features
The medium-coarse structure maintains a balance between water retention and aeration suitable for short-cycle, high-demand crops. It combines Baltic blonde peat 7–20 mm and 0–7 mm with brown peat 0–7 mm. Wood fiber and perlite lighten the mix and maintain consistent gas exchange, even in small pots (Ø 12–14 cm) typical for herb production.
The PG Mix starter fertiliser with NPK 12-14-24+ is calibrated to meet the high potassium demand of aromatic plants, supporting aroma intensity and leaf firmness. The wetting agent promotes uniform re-wetting after dry-down cycles.
Basil Pot-14 is suitable for both supermarket pot basil production and transplanted garden herbs (parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano). Selected peat from the Baltic countries: consistently from the same fields, season after season, to ensure lot-to-lot quality continuity.
