Different moisture levels

We produce casing soil with different moisture levels, ranging from 68%-80%. The mixtures are tailored to fit our customer’s needs. We can also adjust mixtures to increase their processability.

BVB Substrates has developed it’s own assessment method for casing soils. We also have our own spray table to ensure a stable product and constant quality. We check water uptake capacity, pH-level and adhesive strength. Especially in the cultivation of mushrooms it’s tremendously important to constantly check the quality of casing soils.

Innovation and sustainability

We are currently working on even better new types of casing soil. We take the following topics into account. The casing soil has to:

  • have a suitable water-holding capacity
  • offer protection against dehydration of the compost layer
  • provide an optimal environment for the growth of mycelium
  • provide a constant acidity
  • have a good structure and suitable adhesive strength
  • be free of diseases and safe in use
