Hemp Peat Additive & Amendment

Hemp fiber makes an excellent horticultural additive due to a combination of physical and chemical properties. With a neutral pH of 7.7, hemp is gentle on soils and plants. The porous nature of hemp fiber retains moisture and promotes a healthy environment for root development. Additionally, hemp fiber has an ideal carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, providing a slow release of nutrients that supports long-term soil fertility and robust plant growth.

This versatile material can be used as a mulch, soil amendment, or blended with peat moss; research from UConn has demonstrated that hemp can be added at a 2:1 ratio with peat moss without compromising plant health..
