Blending & Filling

Container Filling with HydraFiber

How to fill your pots and six packs with HydraFiber, including adjusting the flow, setting the plow for the right compaction, using a propeller, and adding a soil conditioner.

“Our basil crop finished five days earlier when we trialed in a blend with 30% HydraFiber Ultra 160WB in place of perlite. We’re working closely with their team now to make the full switch to HydraFiber by Fall 2020.”

"Perennials are just beginning to get looked at, but from what I’m seeing, the results with HydraFiber are also comparable to the performance observed in other growing mixes."

“You’re getting the same thing you’re getting from perlite or vermiculite, but you’re also getting more air porosity, more water-holding capacity, and better plant performance, so it really makes sense to switch to a HydraFiber blend.”

"I like the root system I get from HydraFiber due to the high porosity in the mix."
