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.
Amendment for Olive Trees
The Amendment for Olive Trees from Mineravi is a balanced and enriched mix of high-quality ingredients designed to nourish and protect olive trees, improving soil quality and promoting healthy growth. This amendment has been carefully formulated to meet the specific needs of olive trees, providing essential nutrients, improving soil structure, and maintaining soil moisture. Additionally, it is an eco-friendly way to fertilize your olive trees, as it promotes sustainable agricultural practices by naturally enriching the soil and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. With the Amendment for Olive Trees from Mineravi, you can take care of your olive trees and the environment at the same time, ensuring a healthy and nature-friendly crop.
Main Ingredients:
- Worm humus.
- Aged mushroom compost.
- Topsoil.
- Rice husk.
- Basalt rock dust (source of minerals and trace elements).
Ingredient Proportions:
- Topsoil: 40%
- Worm humus: 20%
- Aged mushroom compost: 15%
- Rice husk: 15%
- Basalt rock dust: 10% (Added to enrich the soil with minerals and trace elements).
Key Benefits:
-
Nutrition: Our amendment supplies a wide range of essential nutrients that are fundamental for the healthy growth of olive trees. These nutrients include macronutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as micronutrients like iron, manganese, and zinc. By providing these essential nutrients, the amendment helps stimulate root development and olive production. Properly nourished olive trees produce higher quality olives, resulting in higher quality olive oil in terms of flavor and nutritional content.
Soil Structure: The amendment for olive trees from Mineravi is designed to improve soil structure. By increasing the organic matter present in the soil, it encourages the formation of aggregates and improves soil porosity. This means that the soil will retain water better and allow for greater air and nutrient circulation to the roots of the olive trees. Additionally, beneficial microbial activity is stimulated, creating a more favorable environment for root growth and nutrient absorption.
Moisture Retention: The amendment mulch acts as a natural barrier that retains soil moisture. This is especially beneficial in regions with arid climates or during drought periods, as it reduces water evaporation from the soil and therefore decreases the need for frequent irrigation. The roots of the olive trees remain hydrated and protected, promoting their health and allowing for optimal development even under water scarcity conditions.
Soil Protection: Our amendment not only nourishes your olive trees but also protects the surrounding soil. It acts as a protective layer that prevents soil erosion caused by rain or wind. Additionally, this mulch protects the roots of the olive trees from mechanical damage, such as soil compaction due to traffic or contact with agricultural machinery. It also helps maintain a more stable temperature in the soil, avoiding extreme changes that could negatively affect root growth.
Application Instructions:
- Clean the area around the base of the olive trees, removing weeds and plant debris.
- Apply a layer of the Amendment for Olive Trees from Mineravi around the base of each tree, creating a "ring" around the tree.
- Water the area to allow the amendment and soil to mix properly and for the nutrients to reach the roots of the olive trees.
Presentation and Availability:
- The Amendment for Olive Trees from Mineravi is available in bulk bag of 1,000 liters.
In summary, the Amendment for Olive Trees from Mineravi is an investment in the health and productivity of your olive trees. It not only supplies the necessary nutrients for vigorous growth and quality olive production but also improves the soil, conserves moisture, and protects the roots of the olive trees, all in one product. With Mineravi, you can take care of your olive trees and promote a sustainable and healthy crop.
