Abstract
In this paper the possibilities of preparing suitable substrate — using composting pine bark from Spain are discussed.
The composting of the pine bark is scientifically controlled giving a substrate with recommended physical properties for ornamental plants.
The concentrations of Mn are well below toxic levels.
Preliminary — trials show that it is suppressive for Rhizoctonia.
The experiments done with Primula sp. and Petunia sp. show that it is a suitable substrate capable of substituting spaghnum peat.
