HigH PERFORMANCE
H i g h PE R F O R M A N C E growing media for professionals Why should you use Fafard Soil Mixes? We have several bogs most of which are very young. This allows us to provide our professional clientele with a very fibrous peat rarely found in the marketplace. This exceptional peat moss guarantees you a very consistent high-level outcome. This translates into : • Increased plant growth and a shorter production cycle; • Decreased risk of root disease and reduced shrink. The Environment is at the heart of Fafard’s values Since the company’s founding, Fafard has made a point of ensuring the renewal of the natural resources it extracts and lowering its ecological footprint. The following are examples of how our team has achieved this: - Use of a harvesting method in compliance with the strictest environmental protection standards; - Systematic restoration or reforestation of its bogs after use; - Developing growing substrates adapted to green roofs; - Implementation of innovative projects aimed at sustainable development, and much more! Fafard obtained Veriflora® Peatland Products certification. An international first, this certification assures the application of good management practices in all aspects of sustainable development. PRODUCTS AND APPLICATIONS For optimum plant growth, the roots need to breathe. The higher THE gas diffusion is, the faster the oxygen will reach the roots.
