“The best cook is mother earth” – NatureSoil by Oliver Knott

Nothing is more powerful and pure like the elements from our nature. Since thousands of years the nature has developed the best “product” for their nature “customer”, like plants and animals. In our case we have a prefect soil as basis in which are growing many kind of different plants without any “artificial nutrients”. This gift from our mother earth was the foundation of the NatureSoil product.

From where it comes:
The mother earth for the NatureSoil comes from Kyushu Island in the Southern part of Japan. The vulcan basis is the reason that around this island grows a plenty of different plant sorts.

Grading/Selection:
At the first step the mother material goes in bigger quantity to his first journey trough a rough selection. Here are remove the too big lumps and unusable material.

Oliver Knott demo frankrijk

Voor de video klik hier.

The above video, at just over 30 minutes long is a condensed version of the day. The actual demonstration lasted about 6 hours, so this is no real substitute for the experience of being there on the day, but it should prove useful and interesting for many aquascaping hobbyists and professionals.
