for professionals
Why should you use
Fafard Soil Mixes?
We have several bogs most of which are very young.
This allows us to provide our professional clientele with a
very fibrous peat rarely found in the marketplace.
This exceptional peat moss guarantees you a very
consistent high-level outcome.
This translates into :
• Increased plant growth and a shorter production cycle;
• Decreased risk of root disease and reduced shrink.
The Environment
is at the heart of
Fafard’s values
Since the company’s founding, Fafard has made
a point of ensuring the renewal of the natural resources
it extracts and lowering its ecological footprint.
The following are examples of how
our team has achieved this:
- Use of a harvesting method in compliance with
the strictest environmental protection standards;
- Systematic restoration or reforestation of its bogs after use;
- Developing growing substrates adapted to green roofs;
- Implementation of innovative projects aimed
at sustainable development, and much more!
Fafard obtained Veriflora® Peatland Products certification.
An international first, this certification assures the application
of good management practices in all aspects of sustainable
development.
PRODUCTS AND
APPLICATIONS
For optimum plant growth, the roots need to breathe.
The higher THE gas diffusion is, the faster the oxygen
will reach the roots.

INNOVATION
DRIVES PERFORMANCE
Our experimental greenhouse, our laboratories, as well
as our state-of-the-art equipment allow us to meet the
greatest challenges in research and development.
Our multidisciplinary team of researchers in physics
and hydrodynamics of soil, chemistry, biology and
horticulture combine their efforts to continuously
improve our products.

AGRO MIX® G10, provides exceptional
drainage and gas diffusion thanks to an
aerated mix composed of fibers that are

INGREDIENTS: AGRO MIX® peat, coconut husk fibre, limestone, balanced

The quality of the roots is apparent from
their size and their abundance, as well
as by the increased presence of root
hairs. The toughness of the plant is
demonstrated by the shorter internodes,
bigger stems and thicker leaves.

adds organic matter and nutrients. The compost itself
contains nutrients but it also has a buffering capacity
which allows it to absorb nutrients from another
source (ex: fertilizer), to store it and release it gradually
thereafter.
