Every year after the peat moss cultivation and harvesting ends, the peat fields and used areas are safely prepared for regeneration – to enable its natural succession and unchanged quality through the years. Hortimed has always clearly prioritized and highlighted the importance of innovation and research in this industry!
We always increase the available opportunities of improving the production, products, and usage of alternative materials in substrates, like Hortimed Humus Extra and many other additives.
Sphagnum moss thrives in cool, damp regions like peat bogs in the Northern Hemisphere. Hortimed sustainably sources its sphagnum moss from protected natural areas, ensuring minimal environmental impact and high-quality organic materials.
While peat can regenerate over time, the process is incredibly slow, often taking thousands of years. This makes peat a non-renewable resource in human terms, highlighting the need for sustainable harvesting practices.
Sphagnum moss, a type of peat moss, grows slowly, and its harvesting must be carefully managed to prevent habitat destruction and ensure regrowth.
Peat moss can be sustainable if harvested responsibly. At Hortimed, we use controlled harvesting methods to ensure peat bogs can regenerate and continue to isolate carbon. This sustainable approach minimizes environmental impact and supports long-term peat availability.
Using organic peat products helps improve soil health, enhances water retention, and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers. Our products are designed to support sustainable farming practices, promoting a healthier environment and better crop yields.
