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.

Hydroponic Substrate | 70% Coco Fiber + 30% Rice Husk

Hydroponic Substrate Composed of Coco Fiber and Rice Husk

The Hydroponic Substrate made up of 70% coco fiber and 30% rice husk emerges as a cutting-edge and ecological option aimed at farmers looking for sustainable and affordable replacements for perlite. This special mix takes advantage of the moisture retention capacity and the porous structure of coco fiber along with the lightweight and aeration improvement benefits offered by rice husk. Thus, an ideal growing medium is formed for a wide range of plants cultivated through hydroponics.

Key Components:

  • Coco Fiber (70%): Renewable and ecological material, valued for its superior ability to retain water and provide a beneficial porous structure for root development.
  • Rice Husk (30%): Recycled agricultural product, used as a green solution instead of perlite. Contributes to the aeration and drainage of the substrate, adding lightness and favoring a conducive environment for 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: Encourages 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, that benefit from soil with good drainage and organic richness.

Usage Guide:

  • Maintain an efficient drainage system to prevent water accumulation.
  • Regularly monitor moisture and adjust irrigation 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 home hobbyist to large agricultural ventures.

Choosing our Hydroponic Substrate of Coco Fiber and Rice Husk means selecting a solid foundation for your crops that benefits both the planet and your economy. This product paves the way towards more responsible and sustainable farming methods, ensuring the well-being and prosperity of your plants.
