Fertilizers
- For many years now we have been doing trials with controlled released fertilizers in our nursery. In consequence of the favourable results, these enveloped fertilizers are now used in the largest part of our nursery.
- We can distinguish 2 types : Osmocote for cultivation and Agroben for full-soil growth. These fertilizers are both produced by Scotts, but also fertilizers of other companies are being tested intensively.
- Every year in early spring, soil samples are taken in all of our parcels. After analysis, an adjusted fertilizing schedule is made. Extra soil samples are taken during the cultivation, to adjust where necessary. This way the needs of the plants are met optimally and there is a minimum of nutrients washout.
