Soil should never be left exposed! We therefore strongly recommend applying a layer of mulch, which prevents the soil from drying out too quickly and provides nutrients for soil biology.
Apply the organic fiber in a layer thickness of 2-3 cm and cover the entire soil. This applies equally to vegetable and perennial beds, as well as to open tree pits and shrub plantings.
To ensure the incomparable fertility of organic black soil, mulching is a must! Try our organic fiber! You will be delighted.
This product is approved for organic farming and is ideal as mulch material in outdoor areas. Indoors, we recommend a mineral mulch layer instead of organic fiber, such as brick chips or expanded clay (except for cannabis cultivation with organic hemp soil – see FAQs).
The organic fiber consists mainly of unprocessed straw residues and is relatively stable. This material is interesting because of its high nitrogen content. This nitrogen, like the other abundant nutrients, is released when the fibers decompose, thereby fertilizing the crops growing on top of them. If you mulch regularly with our organic fiber, no additional fertilization is necessary. The initial smell of cattle manure is short-lived and usually disappears after the first rain.
Our organic fiber comes from the fermentation residues of a biogas plant that processes exclusively organic cattle manure. The solid matter in the fermentation residue is separated and then dried.

Mulching = less watering!
Mulch primarily serves to protect the soil from UV light, which means that soil biology is not destroyed!

The Organic hemp soil Bio Hanferde is already being used successfully in pots at various CSCs and is recycled, for example, with our soil activator Bodenaktivator. This is where the minimum pot size of 15 litres that we recommend has proven its worth. However, most clubs currently opt for 20-litre pots; see also What pot size should I use in combination with the Bio Hanferde?.
Our Terra Preta Bio Schwarzerde is also already being used for cultivation in raised beds. This can optionally be combined with Bio Handerde in bottomless pots.
In both cases, the use of an organic mulch layer, e.g. our organic fibre Bio Faser, is essential. See also: Why should I mulch every soil and and how?
Our Terra Preta Bio Schwarzerde can be used in both field beds and raised beds. To ensure long-term fertility for all crops, we recommend a layer thickness of 20–30 cm combined with a permanent layer of mulch. Almost any organic material can be used as mulch, e.g. grass clippings, wood chips or our organic fiber Bio Faser.
When used in raised beds, the lower section can be filled with existing soil or our organic raised bed soil Bio Hochbeeterde. Layering, as practised in hugelkultur, is not recommended here, as this would simply require regular top-ups of Bio Schwarzerde. As a general rule, the soil ecosystem should be disturbed as little as possible by digging (no till).
Our Terra Preta Bio Schwarzerde was developed over many years of trials, modelled on the original Terra Preta, in collaboration with numerous recognised institutions and scientists. The reason for its long-lasting fertility, when used correctly (see also How do I use Bio Schwarzerde correctly?), lies in the soil’s special composition and its extremely diverse microbiology. This combination creates a self-sustaining soil system which, when combined with a permanent organic mulch layer (e.g. our organic fiber Bio Faser), becomes even more fertile over the years.
