Natural Baltic peat and biological growth solutions
Locally sourced peat and agro-organic products
Green Care product line started in 2013 from one of our customers' requests in Latin America. The company had been supplying him with NPK Expert brand fertilizers for several years when he asked about certain types of substrates made per order for his nursery plants in Dominican Republic. Since the NPK Expert brand has a fully equipped laboratory, management decided to set up an organic product development department and testing plant in the company. Thus, working with customers, Green Care product range was expanded to innovative biological chlorine free fertilizer developed from plant waste, biological soil conditioner and germination enhancer and concentrated humic, fulvic and amino acid product extracted from peat and fermented plants. The product range is now complemented by sapropel, which has gone through a post-processing method, thereby lowering transportation and handling costs for this type of product.
Green Care Baltic peat product range include natural peat, pH neutralized peat moss and peat moss substrates packed in 250l polyethylene bags and in different capacity big bales. Liquid concentrate and germination enhancer are available in 20l canisters and 1000l IBC. Both category products are available only for wholesale and can be customized for specific application and branded by Private Label.
