All you need to know about pH in growing mixes<\/h2>\n

Berger offers growing media with a buffered pH and our quality control system guarantees that this pH is within a specific range upon reception. However, certain factors must be managed properly to make sure that the pH of the media remains optimal throughout the production.<\/p>\n

The pH of the growing media is dynamic and must be closely monitored. Berger can not only provide a growing media with a specific pH, but can also help you determine what factors are influencing the pH of your soil during production and provide helpful solutions that are adapted to your production system and easy to integrate.<\/strong><\/p>\n
