🌱 Better Growing Starts Beneath the Surface.
At Herbi we develop products and blends to empower commercial growers and home gardeners to grow healthier plants, with more nutrient-rich produce, bigger yields, and vibrant blooms — indoors and out – without adding extra work.
100% NZ owned and operated, Herbi develops complete growing systems — not just products – for happy growing.
What We Create
Herbi designs optimum systems and solutions for modern growers:
-
Living soils and growing substrates — from seed to harvest, supporting long-term soil and plant health
• Biological soil amendments — to enhance fertility, nutrient cycling, and resilience
• Coco & mineral growing media — for balanced structure and moisture control, in indoors and outdoor systems
• Precision-formulated hydroponic nutrients — for clean uptake and controlled feeding
• Solutions tailored for home gardeners through to commercial producers
Whatever you’re growing, where and how — at Herbi we’re passionate, possibly obsessed, with delivering better outcomes.
Built in Aotearoa, For Better Growing
Frank and Michelle Lachmann started Herbi in Aotearoa, New Zealand to empower growers, giving them better results in less time:
-
Better biology and balanced nutrition
-
Better control where it counts
-
Better performance for time and money
-
Better results — whatever you’re growing
Our products are developed and refined under real New Zealand growing conditions — from backyard gardens to indoor grow rooms and commercial production systems.
Growing Is More Than Feeding Plants
Our team at Herbi believes growing is about understanding biology and natural systems to optimise results.
It’s about:
-
Soil fertility
-
Plant immunity and natural defences
-
Balanced nutrient availability
-
Working with natural systems — not disrupting them
It’s about building solutions that perform consistently — season after season, through stress and extremes.

Grow Healthier. Grow Smarter. Grow Happy.
Many of our products are natural, but we haven’t certified them as organic yet – it’s a significant investment, but be assured that most products are candidates for organic certification. If they’re not we’ll tell you. The Herbi philosophy is to create world-class blends and products, or provide customers with the best quality ingredients and products we can source.
“Grow produce where it’s going to be eaten”.
