Dear Lukas and all MPL plast users, Thank you for writing us about this. More red soil is now available in the soil room (defrosted).

Dear Paige, is the new patch of frozen bags already available? Because our technicians told me there is currently no soil available to sow new seeds. We would need new soil by tuesday next week, so its probably a good idea to thaw it over the (long) weekend? Thanks and all the best Lukas Am 08.10.2026 13:03, schrieb Guevarra,Paige: Dear MPL plant users, The Substrat 2 "red soil" is available for use, however the 3 bags available are NOT FROZEN! It is therefore especially important to apply nematodes or Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) to the soil when potting/sow and every 2 weeks after. We froze bags as well, but they will not be available until October 19th. If you need more soil in the meantime, please reach out to us at @VBCF Plant Sciences<mailto:vbcfplants.grp@vbcf.ac.at> to bring more. Thank you again for your patience and wishing you all the best with your experiments!
