HortiBase Peat Free Base Mix
Base Mix Fertiliser Formulated for Use in Peat Free Growing
17-23-3 +5MgO formulation designed for peat free production, to provide high magnesium and low potassium levels to suit high K substrates such as coir, wood fibre and bark.
Generous levels of nitrogen to compensate for N drawdown, and phosphorus to boost root establishment. Superior levels of iron and other trace elements.
The iron is chelated with DTPA for greater availability at a wider range of substrate pHs.
