Fruit and branches substrate for conifers

On July 11th, 30 growers and companies located in the area of Boskoop, visited the trial centre of Delphy in the Netherlands. The evening garden meeting was organized by Greenport Boskoop. During the evening, CLOSECYCLE was discussed. In the CLOSECYCLE project conifers were planted on 12 different mixtures. All these mixtures have in common that there is no peat used. For these potting substrates for example residual wastestreams containing fruit, branches and Miscanthus were used. During the tour, the first differences were visible.  Conclusions will be drawn later in the season.
