Description

8 mm coconut fiber briquette blocks. dehydrated, high quality and without fine dust. Each block measures approximately 28x28x10 cm. and weighs 5 kg., once hydrated it becomes about 65 liters of coconut substrate.

Here are some features and uses of these products:

  1. Sustainable Material: Coconut fiber, also known as coir, is a byproduct of the coconut industry. Its use in gardening is a way to recycle this material in a sustainable way.

  2. High Water Retention Capacity: Coconut fiber can retain a significant amount of water without becoming saturated, making it ideal for plants that require moist but well-drained soil.

  3. Good Aeration: Despite its ability to retain water, coconut fiber also allows excellent aeration. This is crucial for healthy root development and prevents problems such as rot.

  4. Neutral pH: Unlike other organic substrates such as peat, coconut fiber usually has a more neutral pH, which is beneficial for a wide range of plants.

  5. Use in Hydroponic Cultivation: In hydroponic systems, where plants are grown without soil, coconut fiber provides a physical medium to support plants and retain nutrients.

  6. Easy Transportation and Storage: Dehydrated blocks and briquettes are compact and lightweight, making them easy to transport and store. They expand when water is added, making them a ready-to-use substrate.

  7. No Fine Dust: The absence of fine dust in these products means they are less likely to compact and maintain their airy structure, which is better for plant roots.

  8. Various Applications: In addition to their use in horticulture, these products are also used in seed germination, as a substrate for potted plants, in vertical gardens and in the rehabilitation of degraded soils.

In summary, dehydrated coconut fiber blocks and briquettes are an ecological and effective option for growing plants, especially valued for their water retention capacity, good aeration, and versatility of use.

How much stone do I need?

How much stone do I need for the ground?

For shot and gravel song:
• ± 80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.*For granulometries> 32mm a thicker layer is necessary.• Saca consumption: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Covering capacity: ± 12.5m² with a layer of 5 cm.

For pine cortex:
• ± 70L per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000L = ± 1m³ = ± 600kg
• Covering capacity: ± 14m² with a layer of 5 cm.

For volcanic, slate and chamota:
• ± 50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000kg = ± 1m³
• Covering capacity: ± 20m² with a layer of 5 cm

How much stone do I need to fill a gabion?

Density of ± 1,650kg by 1m³.

The calculation is very simple to understand with an example, if you have a 100x50x30 cm gav. You have to make the following accounts:
1x0.5x0,3 = 0.15m³
0.15x1,650 = 247.50kg. stone.
*It is always good to calculate an extra 5%, since the gavions when filling them are a little and always enters some more stone than in the theoretical calculations.

Clarifications

ATTENTION!

Granulometries are sizes of sizes

Real sizes can vary slightly, since when talking, for example, 60-80mm stone, it means that the stones pass through a square mesh of 80x80mm. and do not go through a 60x60mm.
This 80x80 mesh can pass a 100mm stone. long and 65mm. wide so there may be a percentage of stones greater than 80 and less than 60mm.

Broken stones

On the other hand, in the stones of more than 60mm. There is a percentage of up to 10% stones that can be broken during classification, washing, loading and downloading, today we have no machinery that avoids those breaks.

In the photos you can see, only real products are seen, broken pieces have been removed.

Dust and sand in products

This product is not washed, so it contains dust, sand and even traces of other products due to processing and transport. This is not a problem when using it; The stone will be washed alone over time or can throw water before using it.
