Science - Agriculture / substrate type
Italian term or phrase: torba unificata
This is in a list of cultivation substrates - the list also includes torba acida and torba neutra. I can figure acid peat and neutral peat, but cannot find anything for "unificata". Any help appreciated.

undifferentiated peat


Explanation:
Torba unificata: letame, letame essiccato e deiezioni avicole disidratate, deiezioni animali composte inclusa la pollina ed il letame, escrementi liquidi di animali, rifiuti domestici trasformati in compost, deiezioni di vermi e di insetti, guano, miscela composta di materiali vegetali, farina di sangue, polvere di zoccoli, polvere di corna, polvere di ossa, farina di pesce, farina di carne, pennone, lana, pelli e crini, prodotti lattiero caseari, pellami, borlande ed estratti di borlande, prodotti e sottoprodotti organici di origine vegetale per la fertilizzazione, segatura e trucioli di legno, cortecce compostate. Impiego limitato all’orticoltura (colture orticole, arboricole, vivai).
E' un tipo di torba composta da elementi vari e penso possa essere l'equivalente della traduzione che ti ho fornito.

Whole peat


Explanation:
After a painful research, studying the composition and the products of different types of peat, I came to the conclusion that the "whole peat" has the same characteristics as "torba unificata".
