With a high nitrogen content of 14%, this fertilizer offers a powerful yet controlled source of nutrition, gradually released over a period of 6 to 12 weeks. The nitrogen is fully organically bound and becomes available to the plant step by step through the action of soil microorganisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coarse structure of the horn shavings improves soil aeration, stimulates soil life, and supports natural humus formation. As a result, this fertilizer not only serves as a high-quality nitrogen source but also acts as a sustainable soil conditioner. Thanks to its slow-release action, there is no risk of burning or leaching, making it safe even for young or sensitive crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fertilizer complies with EU regulations 834\/2007 and 1069\/2009, making it suitable for use in organic gardening. It is also widely used professionally, provided it is permitted under local certification guidelines. Due to its odorless nature and natural composition, the product is ideal for both professional growers and demanding gardeners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFor Vigorous Growth with Natural Nitrogen Action\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 14% nitrogen (N) in horn shavings is fully organically bound and released slowly. This form of nitrogen is essential for the formation of chlorophyll, proteins, and cell structures, thereby supporting strong, vigorous growth. Ideal for nitrogen-demanding crops such as cabbages, leeks, celery, potatoes, fruit trees, berries, ornamental plants, and young seedlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of nutrition and soil improvement makes horn shavings a valuable component in sustainable and regenerative farming systems.
