Why do I need a special compost for herbs and sowing seeds?

Our Plantura Organic Herb & Seedling Compost has a loose and airy structure and contains fewer nutrients. This is ideal for herbs as they generally prefer nutrient-poor soil. For young plants (seedlings, cuttings, etc.) fewer nutrients are also ideal, as their roots are not yet fully developed and would not be able to utilise a larger amount of nutrients.

Is Plantura Organic Herb & Seedling Compost peat-free?

Yes, our organic herb compost is 100% peat-free and contains exclusively natural ingredients. Because of this, our seedling compost produces up to 60% less CO₂ during manufacturing compared to conventional composts containing peat.

Can the organic compost also be used for transplanting seedlings?

Our Organic Herb & Seedling Compost is not only perfect for sowing seeds but also for planting cuttings or pricking out seedlings.

What is our compost for herbs made of?

Our herb compost contains 100% natural raw materials. Because our compost is free from peat, it saves up to 60% CO₂ during production, compared to composts with peat. Plantura Herb & Seedling Compost is a mixture of coir pith, perlite and high-quality green compost. It also contains some calcium and magnesium fertiliser as well as a dose of animal-free plant food. Our organic compost is certified with the ECOCERT label.

What is the compost’s packaging made of?

At Plantura, we care deeply about the environment. For this reason, we are using compost bags that are made of 80% recycled plastic. Our sustainable alternative to conventional soil bags has been awarded the Blue Angel (German ecolabel). We are asking our customers to dispose of the empty bags of our organic composts in their recycling after use.

Why is the seedling compost so low in nutrients?

The more nutrients, the bigger the plants? Sounds logical, but is not necessarily the case. The low-nutrient content of this soil helps to stimulate the seedlings’ root growth. Plants need to grow strong roots first in order to absorb enough nutrients from the soil. Our Plantura Organic Herb & Seedling Compost thus has a positive effect on your plants’ development — for strong and healthy seedlings! Most herbs are light feeders and can stay in this soil long-term. But once your hungrier plants have passed the seedling stage, you can plant them into a more nutrient-rich compost, such as our Plantura Organic Enriched Compost, which is better suited to mature plants.

So far GREAT
I have only used this for potting up baby off shoots from my parent plants. It feels great and I think the babies are loving it.

Lovely compost - so far so good for the plants, too
I wanted to plant some herbs with my grandson. We made a pizza with them, though it turned out he would have liked the plants either way. Anyway I got this because I didn't want to worry about what kinds of leftover chemicals or whatnot might be found in some kinds of compost I've had in the past. It was great fun and the plants seem pleased as well.
