It prevents soil compaction, keeps the soil in the pots aerated and does not decompose over time. Facilitates the absorption of water and nutrients through microcapillaries. It isolates temperature fluctuations inside, without affecting the roots.

2. In the case of seeds, seedlings or young plants: prepare a mixture of 2 parts soil and one part compost and spread it in pots or alveolar trays. Water as needed.

3. In case of use in the garden: the compost is incorporated superficially with the existing soil in the garden. Planting continues normally. If necessary, add another layer of substrate. Fertilization is not necessary for a period of 6 months. After planting, water as usual after 7 days.
