Collection: Potting Composts

Unlike many conventional potting soils, our Plantura composts are suitable for use in organic production. In addition, our composts bear the ECOCERT logo, which is recognised worldwide.

We at Plantura care deeply about the environment, which is why most of our organic composts are peat-free. Our Organic Herb & Seedling Compost, Organic Flower Compost, Organic Tomato & Vegetable Compost and our Organic All Purpose Compost are 100% peat-free.

Our peat-free composts produce about 60% less CO₂ during production compared to conventional potting composts. Why 60%? Potting soils can be made of a variety of materials, each of which has a different CO₂ balance. Black peat and other types of peat, for example, are among the materials with the worst CO₂ balance. For this reason, our four soils do not contain any peat. With substitutes such as green compost, coir pith and wood fibres, our organic composts are in no way inferior to conventional potting soils. On top of that, they produce an average of 60% less CO₂ in their life cycle - from manufacturing to disposal. This makes our composts environmentally-friendly and perfect for sustainable gardening.

No, our organic potting composts already contain fertiliser, so you do not have to fertilise for about 4 to 6 weeks. After that, we recommend using our animal-free fertilisers to feed your plants.

Unopened and opened bags should be stored in a cool and dry place, protected from direct sunlight. An unheated cellar or garden shed is perfect for storing the compost bags. Close opened bags carefully. Our potting soils are made from clean raw materials.

Compost bags are heavy, so buying them in stores can be hard work. In shops, the bags are often stored outside and are therefore wet and dirty. When you order our Plantura soils online, they will be delivered to your home, quickly and conveniently. And no need to worry about your carbon footprint either: we rely on carbon-neutral shipping. On top of that, our composts’ packaging is made of 80% recycled plastic - an environmentally-friendly material that has been awarded the Blue Angel (German ecolabel). We are asking our customers to recycle their empty soil bags after use.
