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 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.
