“While comparing plants grown in both our regular mix and in the HydraFiber EZ Blend mix, I’m very pleased with how much healthier the roots look in EZ Blend. Roots are very white and full of root hairs. Our regular blend has a good root system as well…but not the mass amount I see with EZ Blend!”

“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.”

"For the end user in a patio pot or basket, we see a lot of benefits from HydraFiber in not having to water as much and growing a bigger, better, healthier plant."

“When we switched to HydraFiber, we shaved 5 hours of labor off every zone each week due to plants needing less water. That’s a 5 to 10% labor savings for us. And on some crops, we have been seeing faster rooting, with white roots all the way to the bottom in 9 days on crops that typically take longer.”

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