Forest Gold

What is Forest Gold?

From wood chip to substrate...

Forest Gold is a natural, fibrous timber derived material produced with locally sourced wood chips.

These wood chips are heated to high temperatures and spun into well-defined fibres using high pressure steam – a process that ensures the material is free from weeds, diseases and harmful organisms. 

We call this material Forest Gold. 

Improved physical characteristics

Apart from acting as a peat alternative, we have found that the inclusion of Forest Gold improves the physical characteristics of substrates. High-end growers from around the world have found a number of key benefits for plants when using Forest Gold:

• Consistent quality with structural stability
• Superior root growth
• Improved air/water ratio and drainage
• Improved water distribution and dry surface
• Lightweight substrate

Application

We add Forest Gold to all standard potting mixes and to most crop-specific mixes, at a standard addition rate of 20-40%.
