Production; Peat & Substrates

Peat winning is made by two different methods: Sod cutting and Vacuum harvesting Sod cutting This is where peat blocks are cut with a mechannized sod cutter and left on the bog to freeze over the winter. The dynamic action of freezing and thawing opens the densely compressed peat mass. The following summer the sods are picked up and placed in stock piles.
Sods The sods are placed in stock piles when they are dry. From the stock piles they are transported to the factory for further processing. Sod peat is used in high quality substrates for plant breeding and pot plant growing.
