The Peat Industry: Innovation and Quality for a Greener Future
The peat industry is a thriving and constantly evolving sector, essential for horticulture and professional gardening. Peat harvesting typically begins in spring and lasts from April to the end of August, a critical phase for ensuring a high-quality product.
After harvesting, peat is stored in large piles near the bogs until it is transported to processing facilities. The best quality peat comes from the uppermost layers, and extraction is carried out using two main methods:
•Milled peat: harvested through surface milling and mechanical collection.
•Block peat: extracted in blocks prepared with specific surface cuts.
Once transported to the factory, peat is processed to optimize its granulation and pH or transformed into substrates by mixing it with black peat, fertilizers, and other components.
