Premium products
Quality control is at the heart of every batch of growing mixes produced by Lambert Peat Moss, including custom-blended products.
For over 90 years, Lambert Peat Moss has been offering a wide range of horticultural products from different grades of Canadian sphagnum peat moss to an assortment of ready-to-use professional peat-based substrates. Lambert Peat Moss is dedicated to meeting the special needs of nurserymen, greenhouse growers, fruit & vegetable producers, professional horticulturalists and home gardeners.
In addition to our complete professional substrate lines, Lambert is now proud to offer a new growing mix that will become a reliable alternative to the classic bulk mixes available on the market for nurserymen. The Nursery Mix is an exceptional option over common bulk products due to its superior well-balanced components like coarse grade of Canadian sphagnum peat moss and Lambert’s exclusive EcoPeatPlus+®, a natural wood fiber.
The Nursery Mix provides an exceptional ratio of air space and water holding capacity as well as a high drainage property, very useful after a severe thunderstorm or several consecutive rainy days. These characteristics are made possible by the special matrix created by EcoPeatPlus+® with sphagnum peat moss.
There are many benefits to consider using the new The Nursery Mix. First of all, the high-quality consistency of the mix, which has undergone a complete quality control process before reaching the market. You are sure to receive a top-quality product every time! Our quality control department performs continuous sampling and analysis during every mix production. Each sample is analyzed for pH at three different incubation stages and the same for the electrical conductivity. Particle size distribution, moisture content and yield complete the criteria we constantly evaluate. We make sure that each cubic foot of the mix is in full compliance with all of our specifications. If any of these points are not completely met, il will not be released for delivery by our laboratory staff. Only a high-end product will leave our site!
Additionally, The Nursery Mix is offered in compressed bales, so you can be assured of getting the exact volume on every order versus bulk product in a dump truck that will be compacted along the road. The possibilities of contamination are also eliminated by the protection offered by the bale packaging. The fact that the mix can be compressed gives you the opportunity to save on freight costs so you can load twice the volume on the trucks.
As EcoPeatPlus+® is harvested from the peat bog and has been buried under acidic and anaerobic conditions for centuries; these conditions create an extremely stable product that will not shrink in a container. During growing production this will eliminate the task of adding more substrate to the containers every now and then. In addition, since The Nursery Mix will not deteriorate for a long period of time, much less fine particles will be generated to thereby maintain the integrity and porosity of the substrate. Really useful for keeping your drainage!
