WORKING WITH NATURE
Sustainable Substrates & Potting Mixes for a Changing Agricultural Climate
I would expect that over the next 5 to 10 years, berry planting and growing will be over 80% grown from substrate materials and not from in-ground soil. The Veritas substrate is the best substrate that I have seen to
replace peat/coir.

CaneBerry
Raspberry and blackberry substrates require a specific approach to understanding water-holding capacity and drainage. With smaller pots, more importance lies in how the substrate is watered and grown, to ensure the substrate is optimized and the plants are not stressed. Such stress can lead to premature fruiting and other issues. Veritas Substrates offers high-quality caneberry substrates for all production situations.

Tree & Vine Nursery
In spending significant time learning to better understand the tree and vine nursery needs, Veritas Substrates is confident our substrate will provide the best results. Through eliminating the ultra-fine particle size in our blend, our substrate allows you to water and fertilize trees and vines at normal rates, even when the weather cools. This ensures a nursery is able to turn over its trees at a steady pace all year long, maximizing its production facility’s capacity.
