Sand for sandblasting when planting lamb's lettuce

Our Sand for sanding lamb's lettuce planting is specifically designed to help lamb's lettuce growers improve the quality of their harvest and simplify the harvesting process. This product provides an effective barrier between the plant and the soil, helping to prevent contamination and disease, resulting in a high-quality lamb's lettuce.

The sandblasting process consists of covering the newly planted soil with our special sand. When the seed germinates, the sand separates the plant from the soil, preventing the leaves from touching the soil. This helps prevent diseases and contamination that could affect the quality of the crop.

Additionally, sand makes collecting much easier. The blade cuts between soil and sand, allowing plants to be harvested in perfect condition. The sand remains in place after harvesting, meaning that with each harvest your substrate becomes finer and more suitable for future plantings.

Product features:

  • Color: Orange
  • Granulometry: Optimal for the cultivation of lamb's lettuce (0-3 mm)
  • Roundness: Perfect for providing a barrier between the plant and the soil without damaging the plant.

Our sand for sanding when planting lamb's lettuce is widely used in greenhouses in the south of Navarra, in La Ribera de Navarra. It is a product tested and appreciated by the most demanding lamb's lettuce growers.

Try our sandblasting sand and discover how you can improve the quality of your lamb's lettuce crop.

We can serve it in bulk in full 25 ton trucks, do not hesitate to contact us.

How much stone do I need?

How much stone do I need for the floor?

For boulders and gravel:
• ±80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer. *For grain sizes >32mm a thicker layer is necessary. • Consumption per bag: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Covering capacity: ±12.5m² with a layer of 5 cm.

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

For volcanic, slate and chamotte:
• ±50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Consumption per bag: 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 per 1m³.

The calculation is very easy to understand with an example, if you have a 100x50x30 cm gabion. you have to do the following accounts:
1x0.5x0.3= 0.15m³
0.15x1.650= 247.50kg. of stone.
*It is always good to calculate an extra 5%, since when the gabions are filled they widen a little and there is always a little more stone included than in the theoretical calculations.

Clarifications

ATTENTION!

Granulometries are sieve sizes

The actual sizes may vary slightly, since when we talk about a 60-80mm stone, for example, it means that the stones pass through a 80x80mm square mesh. and they do not pass through a 60x60mm one.
A 100mm stone can pass through that 80x80 mesh. long and 65mm. wide so there may be a percentage of stones greater than 80 and less than 60mm.

stone breaking

On the other hand, in stones larger than 60mm. There is a percentage of up to 10% of stones that can break during classification, washing, loading and unloading. Today we do not have machinery that prevents these breakages.

In the photos you can see, you only see real products, no broken parts 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 transportation. This is not a problem when using it; The stone will wash itself over time or you can pour water on it before using it.
