Sustainable Plant Production: Substrate Made From Sheep's Wool to Replace Peat in Horticulture
Development project with Hof University of Applied Sciences

In a new research project, Hof University of Applied Sciences is developing innovative, sustainable substrates for plant production. Under the direction of Dr Harvey Harbach, a research team with regional and industrial partners is investigating how sheep's wool, as a natural material, can replace peat and plastic in vegetable seedling production.

In the ‘NaWaruN’ project, a substrate is being developed for direct use in commercial systems, such as vegetable production. The goal: sustainable, resource-saving and regionally available materials.

We are the industrial partner of the Hof University of Applied Sciences and contribute wool fleece for further round needling.
