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.
Hydroponic substrate | 60% coconut fiber and 40% expanded clay
Coconut + Argilastone hydroponic substrate is an innovative mix designed for growers seeking a high efficiency and performance culture medium. This unique combination uses high quality coconut fiber and our exclusive Argilastone expanded clay in optimized proportions to guarantee a superior root development and excellent water management and nutrients.
Components:
- Coconut fiber: It provides excellent moisture retention and aerated structure, essential for the development of roots.
- Argilastone (Expanded clay 6-14 mm): Our high quality expanded clay improves aeration and drainage, offering optimal structural support for roots.
Key differences with coconut + perlite substrate:
- Greater proportion of airing component: The increase in the percentage of Argilastone in this mixture significantly improves the structure of the substrate, offering a higher drainage and preventing excess moisture.
- Particle size: The inclusion of 6-14 mm Argilastone provides greater structural stability and facilitates a more robust growth environment for the roots compared to the perlite.
Estimated product weight: To calculate the weight of the bags of 25 liters and 1000 liters, we consider the approximate densities of both components:
- Coconut fiber: Approximate density of 0.1 to 0.2 g/cm³.
- Argilastone (expanded clay): Approximate density of 0.4 to 0.8 g/cm³, given its highest density compared to the perlite.
Calculation for a 25 -liter sack: 5 kg.
Calculation for a 1000 liter sack: 250 kg.
Benefits:
- Improves aeration and drainage: Ideal to prevent water saturation and promote a healthy environment for roots.
- Robust root development: The substrate structure allows strong and extensive root growth.
- Balanced moisture retention: It maintains the necessary humidity without supersaturation, thanks to the combination of coconut and argilastone.
Applications: Perfect for a wide range of hydroponic crops, especially those that benefit from exceptional drainage and a robust substrate structure.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
- Ensure an effective drainage system.
- Monitor moisture and adjust irrigation as necessary.
Presentation: Available in 25 -liter bags for small projects and in Big Bags of 1000 liters for large -scale commercial applications.
This substrate represents the avant -garde in hydroponic culture solutions, combining the best of nature and technology to offer an exceptional growth means.
