The present invention relates to an aqueous binder composition for mineral fibers comprising at least one hydrocolloid, at least one fatty acid ester of glycerol.

The present invention relates to an organic soil builder, conditioner and/or biofertilizer, and to the production method thereof, which organic soil conditioner and/or biofertilizer has an organic base that allows the availability of nutrients in the soil to be increased for use when the plant requires, or the recovery of degraded soils. The method of the invention uses any type of animal waste sludges together with dry matter and granulated minerals. This mixture is fermented for 40 to 210 days, thus obtaining the organic soil builder, conditioner and/or biofertilizer of the invention.

A plant container conditioning system is provided including a growing pot having a top, bottom, sides and inner volume enabled to support and grow a plant. A cover is provided and enabled to completely contain a plant growing pot. A growing medium is contained within the pot and at least one layer of mulch, at least one layer of fertilizer and at least one layer of compost is applied on top of the growing medium in the pot. wherein at the end of a growing cycle of the plant, the at least one layers of the mulch, fertilizer and compost is applied on top of the growing medium, the cover is placed over the pot and secured around the bottom surface, the pot and cover then remains outdoors for a time period between three and seven months.
