RAW MATERIALS

We obtain clay, wood fibres, peat, bark humus and substrate compost from our own sources or prefer to purchase them from the local. In this way, we can not only control the sustainable management of, for example, peat bogs and clay pits, but also ensure consistently high product quality and short delivery routes.


"The proportion of peat substitutes in our production soils is more than one third. This puts us above the industry average."

OWN RAW MATERIALS

In horticulture, culture substrates form an essential basis for the economic cultivation of vegetables, fruit, ornamental plants, trees and shrubs.

The basic prerequisites for production and cultivation safety are high-quality raw materials and the optimal combination of the various organic and mineral raw materials and additives.

We adapt every culture substrate in its chemical, physical and biological properties to its intended use. This requires comprehensive knowledge of the properties of the individual components and their effect in combination with other materials.

COMPUTER-AIDED MIXING TECHNOLOGY

Thanks to computer-aided mixing technology as well as decades of know-hows, we are able to mix high-quality raw materials and aggregates precisely and optimally match them. In addition to proven standard and special mixtures, we can provide market garden and nurseries with individualised substrates.

Cooperation with teaching and research institutes

In the further development of our culture substrate, we work closely with the Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences and other education and research institutes, where we also conduct extensive studies. Our main focus is on optimising the product properties for the various cultivation methods - without compromising on production and cultivation safety. In doing so, we take into account not only the availability of raw materials but also changing laws, current delivery requirements for the trade as well as consumer demands.





OUR NEW DEVELOPMENTS

LIGNATON & LIGNAHUM - innovative substrate raw materials ideal for substrates with a high proportion of peat substitute or without peat

The proportionally increasing replacement of peat in substrates and soils places significantly higher demands on the properties of the alternative substrate raw materials, especially in terms of homogeneity and biological stabilisation.

Against this background, a new preparation process was developed for the classic natural clay as well as a microbial stabilisation process was developed for wood fibres in addition to nutrient stabilisation.

The result is the two new types of substrate raw materials LIGNATON and LIGNAHUM from PATZER ERDEN.

LIGNATON is natural clay that has been prepared using a special wood fibre. The homogeneous, cohesive material is characterised by excellent mixing properties and thus ensures a very even distribution of the clay in the substrate. It has a balancing effect on other substrate components, while retaining their favourable, characteristic properties.

LIGNAHUM is wood fibre that has been prepared and stabilised using humus-rich material. The material consists of renewable raw materials with a high proportion of organic substance. The homogeneous and structurally stable material is also characterised by very good mixing properties and distribution in the substrate. It stabilises the substrate blend in terms of nutrients and biological activity.
