How much stone do I need?
How much stone do I need for the ground?
For pebble and gravel:
• approximately 80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.*For particle sizes >32mm, a thicker layer is required.
• Consumption per sack: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Coverage: approximately 12.5m² with a 5 cm layer.
For pine bark:
• approximately 70L per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Consumption per sack: 1000L = approximately 1m³ = approximately 600kg
• Coverage: approximately 14m² with a 5 cm layer.
For volcanic, slate and chamotte:
• approximately 50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Consumption per sack: 1000kg = approximately 1m³
• Coverage: approximately 20m² with a 5 cm layer
How much stone do I need to fill a gabion?
Density of approximately 1,650kg per 1m³.
The calculation is very easy to understand with an example: if you have a gabion of 100x50x30 cm, you must do the following calculations:
1x0.5x0.3 = 0.15m³
0.15x1,650 = 247.50kg of stone.
*It is always a good idea to calculate an extra 5%, since when gabions are filled they expand a little and a little more stone always fits than in the theoretical calculations.
Clarifications
ATTENTION!
The grain sizes of GRAVELS AND pebbles are sieve sizes
The actual sizes may vary slightly, since when talking about, for example, 60-80mm stone, it means that the stones pass through an 80x80mm square mesh and do not pass through a 60x60mm one.
Through that 80x80 mesh, a stone 100mm long and 65mm wide can pass, so there may be a percentage of stones larger than 80 and smaller than 60mm.
Breakage of pebbles
On the other hand, in pebbles larger than 60mm, there is a percentage of up to 10% of stones that can break during sorting, washing, loading and unloading; to this day we do not have machinery that prevents such breakages.
In the photos you can see, only real products are shown; broken pieces have not been removed.
Dust and sand in the 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 wash itself over time or you can pour water on it before using it.
Cane Molasses - Animal Feed and Agriculture
Cane Molasses - Animal Feed and Agriculture
The Cane Molasses of high quality is a natural byproduct obtained from the sugar extraction process from cane, available for animal feed and agricultural use. This product is rich in sugars, minerals, and nutrients, with multiple applications in animal nutrition and soil improvement.
Use in animal feed: Molasses is an easily digestible energy source for farm animals, such as cows, horses, and birds. It provides quick energy and supports digestive health.
Agricultural use: In agriculture, molasses enhances the microbial activity of the soil, promoting the decomposition of organic matter, which increases fertility and improves soil structure. Additionally, it can be used in composting to accelerate the process.
Benefits of Cane Molasses:
- Provides quick energy for animals.
- Promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the soil.
- Ideal for composting and improving soil quality.
- No chemical additives, completely natural.
- Compatible with composting systems and organic agriculture.
Applications:
Agriculture: Improves soil health, nutrient availability, and water retention.
Animal feed: Energy supplement that enhances digestion and overall animal health.
Available presentations:
- 5-liter bottle: Ideal for domestic use or small crops.
- 25-liter bottle: Perfect for medium crops or animal feed in small quantities.
- 800-liter IBC container: Ideal for large-scale applications in both agriculture and animal feed.
By optimizing the use of Cane Molasses, you will achieve a more fertile, healthy soil and more vigorous crops.
