Bara Clay 0-2,8

FOR MID-SIZE CULTIVATION POTS

Bara Clay granulate 0-2,8 is used as an additive in peat- and coco based growth medium to increase the clay mineral content for horticultural production in flowers, trees and shrubs.

0-2,8 has high cat- and anion exchange capacity and acts as a nutrient buffer for nutrients. 0-2,8 accelerates the absorption of water and release of the water in the substrate.

Bara Clay granulate 0-2,8 consists of high quality 3-layer mineral Swedish Plateau Clay. Plateau Clay is formed during the last ice age in Scandinavia and is thus geologically a young clay. The clay is thus free from contaminants such as heavy metals, sodium, chloride and dioxins.

The product is mined locally with minimal environmental impact and carbon emissions. Bara Clay granulate 0-2,8 meets national environmental law requirements and is approved for use in accordance with EU regulations for organic production. Bara Clay granulate 0-2,8 is certified by RHP.

"Addition of BARA Clay provides an improved buffering of both nutrients and water and we see, for example, clear advantages with the combination of BARA Clay with organic fertilizers. By mixing in BARA Clay, the organic fertilizers remain more available and do not leach out", explains Marco Raterink, Site Manager at Arie Bouman Nursery BV.

"We began incorporating Bara Clay into our peat-based growing substrates. We aimed to bind and buffer nutrients in the soil, increase the CEC, and ensure even water distribution. The clay provided excellent results, and over the past 20 years, we have used approximately 1,750 tons of Bara Clay," says Nils Andersen, CEO of Splendor Plant AB.

“I need Bara Clay for my crops. I have tried many things over the past 40 years, including different types of clay. I know the differences between the clay types. Even though the potting soil suppliers indicate that they have their own clay, I want Bara Clay. If I change potting soil supplier, I demand that Bara Clay should be used”. Jan Sluiter
