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.
Volcanic lava flour
Powerful mineral fertilizer
Rich in trace elements, silicon, calcium and magnesium. Power the floor of your crops.
The basis of agricultural production is the soil, in recent years we have focused on "feeding" crops and we have forgotten the needs of the soil. Volcanic rock flour improves soil fertility and stimulates soil biological activity, the result is a fertile soil that gives good harvests regardless of crop.
3ms Organic Agriculture
Organic matter - Microorganisms - Minerals
It is a simple model that has worked for millions of years, now due to the overexploitation of the soils, we must try to compensate for the wear of the soil and the decompensation of the 3M, and this is where the rock flours do their work, remineralizing the soil to achieve a perfect equation that allows stronger and stronger crops.
Advantages of volcanic or puzolana rock flour
- Universal mineral fertilizer, provides silicon, calcium, magnesium and iron among 70 minerals.
- Revitalize worn soils either by the abuse of chemical fertilizers or continuous monoculture, causes the clay-humus complex.
- Soil regenerator, loosen soils, improving its structure for the greatest growth of crops, especially in clay and compact soils.
- Increases the pH of the soil, reduces the content of interchangeable acid cations, increases the cation exchange capacity of the soil and increases the basic cations content in the soil.
- Protects from pests and diseases.
- retains and retains moisture
- Their acids dissolve the minerals that the soil already has and the crops take advantage of them.
- Avoid nitrogen losses

Roca flour granulometry
We have several granulometries, 0-1 mm. and micronized volcanic stone flour.
Micronized rock flour is more expensive but compensates since the amount of contribution is reduced to having a higher contact surface than 0-1 mm granulometry.
Quantity volcanic rock flour to contribute
In the case of application by sprinkled with the micronized rock, 200 grams per 1 is sufficient m², (2 tons per hectare) in the case of 0-1 mm rock flour. about 400 grams will be necessary for m² (4 tons per hectare). If applied directly to the plant we can reduce the necessary amount to half.
Application by irrigation water, just use micronized rock flour, mix and apply with continuous agitation machine.
