SOIL NATURE range
Respect for the environment, the recovery of raw materials, and the sustainability of resources are closely interconnected and fundamental to the well-being of our planet. Agronomically, practices such as material recovery, circular agriculture, and sustainable soil management contribute to improving fertility and biodiversity, reducing the use of non-renewable resources and lowering ecological impact. Environmentally, these actions help reduce CO2 emissions and preserve natural ecosystems.
Investing in a sustainable future is not only a necessity, but a wise choice that reflects our commitment to a lasting balance with the environment, because "Nature never does anything in vain," and we believe it...

SOME TECHNICAL NOTES
Growing Substrate
A growing substrate is a mixture of natural or artificial materials used as a growing environment for plants as an alternative or addition to natural soil. Its primary function is to provide roots with optimal conditions for development and support. A good substrate must ensure an adequate physical structure that allows roots to expand and receive balanced air and water, proper water retention without stagnation, effective drainage, the availability of essential nutrients, and be stable over time without degrading too quickly. It can be composed of materials such as peat, coconut fiber, compost, perlite, vermiculite, pumice, or bark, mixed in proportions designed for specific needs such as sowing, transplanting, or growing flowers and vegetables. Substrates are used when a controlled, predictable, and high-performance environment is desired compared to natural soil, such as in nurseries, greenhouses, potted plants, or in home and professional gardening.
Substrate Components
Peat: Often forms the basis of universal potting soil. Light peat is preferred for its moisture-retaining properties and light weight. It also provides an acidic environment that can be adjusted with other components.
Coconut Fiber: A sustainable alternative to peat, it offers excellent water retention and aeration capacity.
Perlite and Pumice: Volcanic minerals that improve drainage and substrate structure, contributing to porosity and aeration.
Humus: Adds organic matter, improving the fertility and structure of the soil. It also provides nutrients and supports beneficial microbial life.
Sand: Used to improve drainage and prevent soil compaction.
Fertilizers: Added to provide an initial boost of nutrients. They can be organic or mineral and are usually formulated to release nutrients gradually.
Substrate Characteristics
Structure: The soil has a light, porous structure that allows for good drainage and proper aeration. This prevents waterlogging, reducing the risk of root rot and promoting healthy root growth.
Water Retention: Despite good drainage, universal soil is also able to retain the moisture necessary to maintain a humid root environment, thus balancing the water availability for the plant.
Nutrients: It is rich in essential nutrients, providing a balanced supply of macro and micronutrients necessary for plant growth. It often contains controlled-release fertilizers that provide nutrients over a prolonged period.
Ph: Generally, all-purpose potting soil has a neutral or slightly acidic pH (around 6.0-6.5), which is ideal for most plants.
Quality of Universal Soil.Porosity: Good porosity promotes root aeration and drainage of excess water.
Structural Stability: It maintains its structure over time, not becoming excessively compacted, which is essential for root health.
Water Retention Capacity: Retains an adequate amount of water, ensuring plants have a water reserve between waterings.
Fertility: Contains a balanced blend of nutrients that supports plant growth for a prolonged period.
Pathogen Free: It is sterilized to eliminate weed seeds and pathogens, reducing the risk of disease.
soil improver
A soil improver is a natural material or one derived from organic or mineral transformation processes that is added to the soil with the aim of improving its physical, chemical, or biological characteristics, without its primary function being immediate fertilization. Soil improvers primarily serve to regenerate and make soil more fertile over the long term. They improve soil structure by softening it, promote aeration and drainage, increase its water and nutrient retention capacity, stimulate microbial activity, and contribute to the formation of humus. Examples of soil improvers include compost, mature manure, peat, humified organic matter, and some mineral materials such as agricultural gypsum.
