Product Description
This is a blend of locally sourced horse manure and vermiculite, ready to use at field capacity (fully hydrated). This mix has been carefully pasteurised to ensure the most serious pathogens are eliminated whilst retaining many of its nutrients to maximise yield.
Although not strictly necessary we've added vermiculite to this mix to allow for consistent moisture retention throughout the grow lifecycle and ensure a Stable Grow. :)
