Please note: this soil has excellent water retention properties and should therefore not be watered too frequently. Please check regularly before watering to see if it is really necessary! In addition, attention must be paid to the possibility of water drainage: if the pots are outdoors, for example, excess water from a prolonged period of rain must be able to drain away—to this end, there must be holes in the bottom of the pot, covered with a fleece or clay shards. The excess water should be able to drain into a saucer.
The organic potting soil is perfectly enriched with nutrients thanks to horn shavings and organic compost, meaning that no additional fertilization is required throughout the entire season. The plants grow healthily as they are constantly and evenly supplied with organic nutrients via the microbiology of the soil.
The horn shavings contained in the soil are a nitrogen-rich fertilizer and are slowly decomposed by fungi. A white fungal network is therefore normal and indicates high biological activity.
The soil's good water retention capacity significantly reduces the amount of watering required.
Organic compost, wood fiber, pine needles, brick chips, horn shavings, and sulfur powder.
Screening: 15 mm
Bulk density: 0.65 tons/m3

A mulch layer (1–3 cm thick) is absolutely recommended for several reasons. First, it protects your soil from drying out too quickly by preventing water from simply evaporating. Second, the mulch material supplies nutrients for the microbial life in your soil. For example, our Bio Faser mainly consists of stable straw from dried organic cattle manure and is a perfect long-term nitrogen source for large pots or raised beds.
You can also incorporate all plant waste into your mulch layer. The use of so-called “cover crops,” meaning ground-covering plants, is practiced in living soil cultivation and is also hotly debated (especially indoors).
Advantages of sowing a cover crop like clover include: the soil is naturally covered, and the withered ground cover becomes part of the living soil again. Some ground covers, such as most clover species, are legumes that can fix nitrogen from the air and make it available in the soil, keeping the bed lush and green.
However, there are also disadvantages that should not be overlooked. For one, you shouldn’t use too many different or labor-intensive plants—the cover crop shouldn’t require more work than the main crop. Also, depending on where you live, cover crops may attract or introduce pests and diseases, which can be problematic.
Perlite is an expanded mineral – in other words, a pure natural product that 'pops' like popcorn when exposed to high heat, thereby greatly increasing its surface area.
Perlite adds a lot of air to the substrate, making it lighter and increasing the scope for watering. This means that you can water too much without the risk of the soil becoming waterlogged.
On the one hand, the organic hemp soil Bio Hanferde has been specially formulated in terms of nutrient content and structure for growing cannabis; on the other hand, the addition of biochar gives it the so-called Terra Preta effect. It is, if you like, a Terra Preta for the pot. See also: What effect does biochar have in Sonnenerde products? As the organic potting soil Bio Blumenerde and organic tomato and vegetable soil Bio Tomaten- und Gemüseerde are very nutrient-rich, they will likely suffice for one growing cycle. However, due to the absence of biochar and other structural materials, they are less suitable for long-term use.
The first signs of overwatering are hanging/limp leaves. Over time, the plant becomes lighter in colour overall and its growth slows down, which is often mistaken for a lack of nutrients in the soil. Brown, necrotic patches may then appear on the leaves, as nutrient uptake is now permanently interrupted. In cases of permanent overwatering/waterlogging, the soil begins to smell musty and root rot may occur.
To prevent overwatering or waterlogging, it is advisable to use a tensiometer. As a general rule when watering, the maxim ‘less is more’ applies. Keep an eye for drainage in the tray and, if you see any, reduce the amount of water you use the next time you water. Depending on your setup, automatic watering systems can be used.
