The horticultural industry needs a steady supply of sustainable, quality substrates at reasonable cost to fill those pots, bags of potting mix and vertical farming installations. Peat moss is an ideal substrate, but supply has not been reliable, cost has been erratic, and its carbon footprint rather large.

Horticultural wood fiber is part of the solution. Engineered wood fiber has the basic aeration and hydration qualities needed in container growing situations. Proven for decades in Europe and elsewhere, wood fiber is part of the future of horticulture.

Plumas Wood Fiber brings quality engineered wood fiber substrate to California to supply the Western US hort industry with what is needed without the transport costs of materials from 1000s of miles away. Engineered wood fiber has a low, or negative, carbon footprint, comes from needed forest management projects, and provides a local, steady supply to the hort industry. Win-win-win!
