Frank Radder of Puur Aroma grows approximately 1 million organic potted herbs each year. "We also supply cut culinary herbs, wild herbs and edible flowers, mainly to the professional catering industry. On request, we organise various excursions and workshops. We are the southernmost nursery in the Netherlands and also the highest-located one, at 170 metres above sea level.
Why does Puur Aroma choose DCM?
"When we came up with the idea to switch from conventional perennial cultivation to organic herb production, we logically ended up at DCM. DCM is known for its expertise and its range of fertilisers for organic cultivation. In addition, DCM was the only supplier that met our required certifications, such as Dutch Input List, RHP, .... In conventional cultivation we used coated, mineral fertilisers as basic fertiliser, which worked very well for us. We wanted to apply a similar approach in our organic production. Our in‑house trials in herb cultivation showed that DCM performed exceptionally well.
Why does Puur Aroma like to work with DCM?
"We are particularly impressed by the exceptionally strong growth. There is real power in DCM’s fertilisers. DCM offers affordable and reliable fertilisers for organic cultivation, which our substrate supplier can pre‑mix directly into the potting soil. In our herb production, DCM is indispensable for delivering a product that is healthy, visually appealing and attractive from a culinary perspective."
