Description

Hydroponic Substrate Composed of Coconut Fiber and Rice Husk

The Hydroponic Substrate made up of 70% coconut fiber and 30% rice husk emerges as an avant-garde and ecological option aimed at farmers looking for sustainable and affordable replacements for perlite. This special blend takes advantage of the moisture retention capacity and porous structure of coconut fiber along with the lightweight and aeration-enhancing benefits of rice hulls. Thus, an ideal growing medium is formed for a wide range of plants grown using hydroponics.

Key Components:

  • Coconut Fiber (70%): Renewable and ecological material, appreciated for its superior ability to retain water and provide a porous structure beneficial for root development.
  • Rice Husk (30%): Recycled agricultural product, used as a green solution instead of perlite. It contributes to the aeration and drainage of the substrate, adding lightness and promoting an environment conducive to growth.

Main Advantages:

  • Sustainability: Promotes the reuse of agricultural waste, reducing waste generation and environmental impact.
  • Cost Efficiency: Provides a more economical option without sacrificing quality or effectiveness in plant growth.
  • Optimization of Aeration and Drainage: Key to avoiding water saturation and ensuring strong and healthy root development.
  • Ecological Contribution: Promotes the use of renewable and accessible resources, supporting environmental conservation.

Applicability: This substrate is perfectly suitable for a variety of hydroponic crops, including vegetables and ornamental flowers, which benefit from well-drained and organically rich soil.

User Guide:

  • Maintain an efficient drainage system to prevent water accumulation.
  • Regularly monitor humidity and adjust watering as necessary to promote an optimal environment for plants.

Available Formats: Offered in bags of various sizes, this substrate adapts to projects of any scale, from the hobbyist at home to large agricultural undertakings.

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.
