Nature’s Natural™ is a soil amendment that competes favorably with the growing attributes of sphagnum peat moss. As can be seen from the adjacent table, it has more nutrients, a favorable pH level, and a better carbon to Nitrogen comparison than sphagnum peat moss.
A typical formulation will be 45% sphagnum, 45% composted pine bark and 10% Perlite. Sustainable Solutions believes Nature’s Natural™ can be used favorably in such formulations and it will add nutrients in addition to many of the attributes of sphagnum peat moss.
