1. The ASSEA ® Biological Compost provides plant protection from disease as it is biologically active and contains a variety of microorganisms that have been shown to suppress a number of pathogenic microorganisms such as Pythium, Phytophthora, Rhizoctonia (which cause many symptoms including wilting, root rot and of plant tissue necrosis). By using Compost as a soil conditioner we can suppress these diseases and reduce plant losses.
2. The Βio Compost ASSEA® replenishes the organic matter of the soil, which is constantly lost to the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide CO 2 due to its disturbance and processing, e.g. milling, plowing, etc.
3. Improves the mechanical composition and structure of the ground, loosens "tight" soils bringing about better aeration, enhances the retention of water and nutrients in sandy and poor soils and encourages the biological activity of soil flora and fauna.
4. It provides slow enrichment of natural nutrients to plants and thus reduces or limits their dependence on chemical fertilizers. It replenishes the soil's organic nutrients, maintains its health, prevents drying and erosion.
   
5. ASSEA ® products contain minimal heavy metals. Our product as a high-quality compost (A+ CLASS COMPOST) is considered free of heavy metals and implies the possibility of its application in double and triple amounts per hectare according to the internationally accepted limits of concentration of heavy metals in the soil for the protection of human health through the food chain.
6. The Βio Compost ASSEA® has stimulating properties as it comes 80% from the recycling of marine algae that contain a high percentage of nutrients and in particular are very rich in organic calcium and natural growth substances, such as auxins and cytokinins.
   
7. The product is organic and comes from a long-term aerobic thermophilic composting process completely controlled, without being "burnt", and characterized by its wonderful very deep brown color (not the carbon black that would be the result of burning), the unique characteristic its texture and its earthy smell (actinomycetes).
   
8. The product protects the environment as it does not contain peat since the extraction of peat contributes to the destruction of forests.
   
9. Product of full maturation (long-term biological fermentation). The long-term treatment for biological fermentation leads to full ripening of the product, which ensures a non-toxic effect on plants, achieves a high concentration of humic and fulvic acids that favor cell division and better plant growth and ensures the high concentration in flavonoid acids.
   
10. Ideal for use in organic farming.

The marine plant Poseidonia the Oceanic, takes its name from the ancient god of the sea, Poseidon. Poseidonia meadows play a very important role in the Mediterranean marine ecosystem and are protected by the European Directive 92/43/EEC (European Habitats Directive).

120 million years ago, Posidonia oceanica covered the coastal plains of an ocean that covered Ecuador. Over millennia they drift with the tectonic plates. Today Posidonia seaweed is only found in the Mediterranean and around the southern coast of Australia.

Posidonia Oceanica lives in a narrow coastal strip between 5 and 50 m deep and is a true plant in the sense that it can bear flowers and disperse its seeds. It plays an important role in oxygenating and creating clear (non-turbid) coastal waters, provides marine habitat for a rich variety of plants and animals, acts as a safe breeding ground for many species and protects beaches from erosion.

Marine algae also play a role in protecting our planet from the increasing accumulation of carbon dioxide, acting as a 'carbon sink', just as plants on land absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, thus helping to slow down the effects of global warming .

Posidonia seaweed has a long lifespan but very slow growth as a marine plant. Over the centuries, the roots form 'layers' that create reefs, which help trap and deposit sediment (suspended particles that cloud the water) and slow the movement of waves, thus cleaning the water and protecting coastlines from corrosion. Dead Poseidonia leaves are stripped from the plants every fall and washed up on beaches.

ASSEA BIOENERGY has an original method of collecting seaweed from the touristic beaches in order to minimize the impact on the morphology and ecosystem of the beach.

ASSEA addresses municipal enterprises (composting of biological sewage sludge), hotels (recycling of organic residues, garden pruning), large agricultural plants, greenhouses and private individuals with bulky organic garden waste and offers comprehensive know-how services and low-cost solutions, for management of non-hazardous organic waste with continuous process monitoring of the production.

• Remediation of the soil.

1. Put two (2) inches of gravel (or pieces of an old broken pot) at the base of the new pot for drainage.
2. Add topsoil up to the middle.
3. We turn the pots with the plant upside down and lightly tap the bottom so that the "ball" of soil from the pot gently falls into our hands.

4. If there are rotten roots sticking out, remove them with scissors.

5. Place the plant in the new pot, fill with Bio Soil ASSEA ® plant soil, press lightly with your fingers near the plant and water.

6.  Finally, on the surface, if desired, add a two (2) cm layer of Bio Compost ASSEA ® around the plant.

1. Put two (2) inches of gravel (or pieces of an old broken pot) at the base of the new pot for drainage.
2. We fill the container in a 1:1 ratio, i.e. 1 part Bio Soil ASSEA ® topsoil, to 1 part river sand (optional when sowing in combination with limited use of water-soluble organic nitrogen).
3. Lightly press the topsoil with a board.

4. Sow the seeds by hand evenly. The number of seeds depends on the size of the pot or planter and on the type of plant, which needs its space when it grows.

5. Cover the seeds with topsoil about 1 cm thick, press lightly with a board and water.

6. We keep the soil fresh by watering lightly at first and daily in a slightly warm environment.

7. As soon as the new plants sprout, if necessary, we thin out, pulling them slightly.

Seasonal plants: Not required.

All-season plants: We recommend 3 times a year to apply a 3 cm layer on the surface.

ASSEA ® Bio Compost: with the very limited use of a biological nitrogen.

The excellent quality of our products is a primary role of ASSEA and is achieved according to the following factors:

• 80% seaweed content. The stimulating properties of marine algae (Posidonia oceanica), which make up 80% of our raw materials and their content of cytokinins, favor cell division, for better plant growth.
• High value content of the product in nutrients, and especially in organic calcium (up to 35%).
• High concentration of humic and fulvic acids due to the long processing period for the full ripening of the products, they are characterized as non-phytotoxic with all the known benefits resulting from their high concentration.
• The products have come from an aerobic thermophilic process without being burned, which is evidenced by their wonderful very dark brown color (not coal black), their unique characteristic texture and their earthy smell (actinomycetes).
• Our product is classified as high-quality Compost (A+) and due to its very low content of heavy metals, it can be applied in double and triple quantities per hectare according to the internationally accepted limits for the concentration of heavy metals in the soil for the protection of health of humans through the food chain. It contains i.e. few heavy metals compared to the best counterparts on the European market (data Wrap June 2022 Waste & Resources Action Program

Kos: Place of origin of all raw materials from a non-industrial area without problems of acid rain, residual atmospheric pollutants, etc. from clean coasts.

The Organic, Vegetable Fertilizer ASSEA ® Bio Compost comes from the biological fermentation of seaweed (sea plants Posidonia Oceanica) and selected agricultural and livestock products, without any chemical addition or treatment.
