Overview :
Forest Gold
From wood chip to substrate
Forest Gold is a natural, fibrous material stabilised with Pindstrup peat.
Wood chips from softwood trees are heated to high temperatures and spun into well-defined fibres using high pressure steam – a process that ensures the material is free from weeds, diseases and harmful organisms. The fibres are then carefully mixed with peat. This is what we call Forest Gold.
Specifications :
Forest Gold improves the physical characteristics of a substrate. We have carried out numerous trials with high-end growers around the world which have shown a number of key benefits for plants:
Consistent quality with structural stability
Superior root Growth
Improved air/water ratio and drainage
Improved water distribution and dry surface
Lightweight substrate
We add Forest Gold to all general potting mixes and to most crop-specific mixes. It mixes well with all medium and coarse screenings.
The standard addition rate of Forest Gold is 30%. This wood fibre/peat ratio gives the best results for the majority of crops; however, substrates can be customised according to specific requirements.
