Le compost de tourbe [...] est constitué de matériaux végétaux compostés récoltés dans une des tourbières basses à laiches et graminées les plus pures au monde. Il est extrait des niveaux inférieurs de la tourbière basse et s'est composté naturellement depuis des décennies. Le compost mûr et noir, présentant une fine texture, contient des nutriments et minéraux utiles. Il se prête bien à un usage dans les jardins, à la culture en récipients et aux semis à transplanter. 2, record 1, French, - compost%20de%20tourbe
