Behind the brand Herbi® are Frank and Michelle Lachmann. Michelle is from New Zealand, and Frank moved there eleven years ago. On their 14-hectare property in Urenui, they began growing vegetables and various other plants - all naturally and without using pesticides.
With great passion, Frank immersed himself in regenerative farming and soil health research, eventually developing what is now known as Living Soil. This laid the foundation for the Herbi® brand. From now on, Herbi® products will also be produced and brought to market through close cooperation with Floragard Vertriebs-GmbH.
The term "Living Soil" originates from the grower community but is also well-known in vegetable cultivation. It refers to the recreation of a living ecosystem - a healthy community of microbes working together to break down organic matter in the soil. This process releases valuable nutrients that promote plant growth.
Living Soil is easy to handle and guarantees success. It is sustainable, as it is reusable in combination with the Herbi® Living Soil Starter 4+4+4 fertilizer, and it is completely peat-free. Herbi® Living Soil and the corresponding fertilizers are now available in Floragard's product range.
This peat-free all-purpose soil is ideal for potting and repotting balcony, container, and garden plants, as well as vegetable cultivation in beds, raised beds, and greenhouses. Enriched with biochar, it binds CO2, supports benefi cial microbes, and stores nutrients. Certifi ed green compost boosts soil vitality and strengthens plant resilience, offering a sustainable choice for healthy plant growth
