MIDWEST TRADING | GROWING MEDIA

Nursery Media — Custom designed to meet your needsNursery mixes are high quality, bark-based growing mixes for professional nurseries blended with composted southern pine bark, Canadian sphagnum peat moss, perlite, rice hulls, slow release fertilizers, and wetting agents. These nursery mixes can be screened, sized, and blended for your particular container size, crop requirements, and cultural practices. You want healthy, vigorous plants with fast developing root systems. Midwest Trading designs mixes that help you achieve that goal. Bulk and custom mixes are available.

Greenhouse Media — Standard and CustomGreenhouse mixes are formulated with components and particle sizing with the pot or container size in mind. Because you may grow plants in containers that range from small cells to large planters, one growing mix will not suit all your requirements. Media characteristics such as air space, available water, and total porosity will change with the size of the container.

Midwest Trading’s professional greenhouse mixes are pH balanced and contain dolomitic lime, wetting agent, and a starter fertilizer charge. Additionally, they’re all blended and tested for optimum physical and chemical characteristics. Specialty blended coir mixes are available.

PBH Nature’s Media Amendment from RicelandThis uniquely processed rice hull amendment is a readily renewable resource requiring no mining or land disruption to produce. As so many growers have learned, it’s a perfect replacement for perlite in the growing media – providing a less dusty mixing environment, lower basic cost, and decomposition over time, while remaining stable during the typical plant production cycle. Its size, shape, and bulking properties produce optimum air-filled pore space, water-holding capacity, and drainage. PBH is ideal for blending with peat, bark, and coir. Lightweight and compressed when packaged, PBH requires less storage space and reduces freight costs. OMRI listed for organic production.

Long-Fibered Sphagnum MossUses for long-fibered sphagnum moss:• Lining hanging baskets• Lining window boxes• Air-layer propagation of growing mature trees from the branches of parent trees• Seed starting while preventing the killer disease “damping-off”• Living wreaths• Root bulbs and cuttings• Wrap around roots when transporting and transplanting plants and trees• Topiary medium• Soil cover on indoor potted plants and planters to retain moisture in the soil• Bedding material for worms and reptiles• Hydroponics gardens• Soilless gardening where dirt is not an option• Orchid propagation

Long-Fibered Sphagnum MossLong-Fibered sphagnum moss is not peat moss, but rather a perennial plant that grows wild in the central Wisconsin sphagnum bogs. Mosser Lee’s sphagnum is a renewable resource growing back in the same bogs every 5-7 years. Long-fibered sphagnum moss both absorbs and holds 20 times its weight in water and repels bacteria.
