Moorland Gold the base from which all Nature's Own growing media is produced. Moorland Gold is derived from a unique process of Pennine water filtration, which removes particles of leaf mould, sphagnum, grits and other composted leaf matter. The result is a rich, black and easily managed product that has a variety of uses from simple soil conditioner to more specialised uses when mixed with varying degrees of organic fertilisers and conditioners. Moorland Gold has a starting pH of around 5.0 and a conductivity reading of 0.7 micro-siemens. Moorland Gold contains no green waste.
Moorland Gold is rich in naturally occurring minerals and trace elements, combined with sustainable ingredients creates an ideal growing media. This allows you, the grower, to use highly nutritious peat growing media with a clear conscience, leaving peat moors untouched for wildlife to flourish and generations to enjoy.
An advantage Moorland Gold has over commercial peat is that it contains useful levels of potassium, plus vital trace elements such as magnesium, boron, copper, zinc and manganese and there are no risks of heavy metals. Moorland Gold is also very low in conductivity with the base product having a reading of only 0.7 micro-siemens. Moorland Gold has good support from several conservation groups. The Soil Association has given its approval and all our growing media made from Moorland Gold carry the Soil Association symbol of Approval.
