Block peat H2-H4
Peat blocks are directly dug up from the peat bog, preserving the unique properties of sphagnum and the structure of it. This results in the highest quality raw material, which in its physical properties is ideally suited for growing media requirements. Block peat is characterized by high porosity and the ability to absorb and retain large quantities of water. They are milled and sieved to the required fractions.
Composition: H2-H4
Block sizes: 250x400x500 and 180x300x500
Fiber peat
Structure: >50 mm
Utilisation: the main component of biofilter production. Can be used to improve the soil structure. If milled can be mixed with peat or other substances. Used as an oil absorbent.
