Sonnenerde Organic Hemp Soil - Big Bag, 1 m³

Sonnenerde Organic Hemp Soil is produced mainly from regional raw materials, including organic compost, expanded clay granules, perlite, activated plant charcoal, horn shavings and soft rock phosphate - and contains no peat or coconut fibre.

Based on Terra Preta, it is ideal for urban gardening and the cultivation of medicinal plants. Suitable for use in pots, planters, Smartpots, and greenhouses, it offers a range of impressive benefits:

• Reduced water consumption and optimal plant nourishment
• No need for additional fertiliser and no risk of over- or under-fertilising
• Provides plants with all essential nutrients and trace elements throughout the growing season
• A rich soil life with microorganisms, fungi, and small organisms promotes healthy, vigorous growth and naturally increases resistance to pests and diseases
• The soil’s buffering capacity balances fluctuations and minor cultivation errors
• The horn shavings act as a slow-release source of natural nitrogen (they are slowly decomposed by fungi – a white fungal coating is therefore completely normal)
• With perlite as a structural material

Why perlite instead of wood fibre as a structural material?

In the new formulation of Sonnenerde Organic Hemp Soil, wood fibre has been replaced by perlite - in the form of Agroperl, a high-quality and ecologically completely harmless material - as a structural material. The advantage of perlite over wood fibre is that it keeps the soil stable for much longer and also makes it much lighter and more airy. This means that Sonnenerde Organic Hemp Soil can be used for longer without any loss of quality.
