This blonde peat —also known as sphagnum peat or peat moss— is exactly that: low-decomposition sphagnum peat with a medium granulometry, the base ingredient with which the grower builds and corrects their own mixes and soils. It arrives in its natural state, without lime or fertilizer, so you can define the recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop-grade raw material:\u003c\/strong\u003e light sphagnum peat, fibrous, low-decomposition and with uniform color — the base chosen by demanding growers for their mixes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile medium granulometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e the 0-20 mm fraction balances retention and aeration, working both for building substrates and for soil incorporation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh water retention:\u003c\/strong\u003e its porous structure absorbs and holds moisture, helping to space out watering cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo lime, no fertilizer:\u003c\/strong\u003e it is an open-recipe ingredient; you decide how much to lime and feed based on the crop.

That stability is what sets it apart from generic organic material: it keeps its structure and aeration capacity for longer inside the pot or the soil.
