One of the key issue regarding quality of peat moss substrate manufacturing is the correspondence of the declared volume with the actual quantity contained in the bags.

Peat moss volume after opening

Fair manufacturing companies will always strive to ensure the best possible match between the reported amount of peat and its true volume. Of course, it should be borne in mind that this is a natural product that will not always return to its original volume after opening the bags in the long-term compressed state. However, if all instructions for use are followed, the declared volume will be very close to the true one.

Determining the quantity of various bulk substances in accordance with EU standard EN12580.

EN12580 provides the method for determining a quantity of growing mixes and soil improvers (horticultural peat, substrates, potting soils, compost, tree bark, etc.). The measuring kit has been manufactured in accordance with the dimensions set in EN12580. The measuring cylinder included in the kit has been calibrated, which is proven by the sticker on the measure and the calibration certificate included in the kit.
