Expanded clay balls are an environmentally friendly and cost-effective medium for hydroponic gardening. They are composed of a lightweight clay aggregate kiln-fired at high temperatures to create a porous material with a honeycomb-like structure. This structure provides an ideal environment for the roots of plants to grow, as it is full of oxygen and moisture pockets. Additionally, expanded clay balls are very lightweight, making them easy to transport and handle. They are also incredibly durable and reusable, making them an excellent choice for long-term hydroponic growing operations. Furthermore, they provide good drainage and do not compact, giving plants plenty of room to grow. Lastly, they are particularly effective at buffering pH levels, providing an ideal environment for nutrient uptake. These benefits make expanded clay balls an ideal choice for the hydroponic gardener. Benefits of Expanded Clay Balls Improved Nutrient Delivery: Expanded clay balls help to deliver nutrients directly to your plant’s roots, providing them with the nutrition they need to grow and thrive. Increased Airflow: The large surface area of these balls helps to increase oxygenation and ventilation throughout the root zone, which helps to promote healthy root development. Improved Drainage: Expanded clay balls help to create better drainage in soil, allowing excess water to escape quickly and helping to prevent root rot and other issues caused by poor drainage. Long-Lasting: Expanded clay balls are incredibly durable and can last for years without needing to be replaced. Cost-Effective: Expanded clay balls are inexpensive and can be reused, making them a cost-effective solution for many gardening needs.

Expanded clay aggregate, is a lightweight ceramic shell with honeycomb core produced by firing natural clay to temperatures of 1100-1200°C in a rotating kiln. The pellets are rounded in shape and fall from the kiln in a grade of approximately 0-32 mm with an average dry bulk density of approximately 350 kg/m³. The material is sieved into a number of different grades to suite the application. With the advantage of light weight, High permeability, high durability and excellent sound and thermal insulating properties, expanded clay is a good 'all round' aggregate for use in a variety of applications. It is also an environmentally friendly product composed mostly of naturally occurring clay, is not susceptible to chemical attack, rot or frost and has a long-life span. The lightweight nature of the expanded clay pellet makes it an ideal solution when constructing over weak soil deposits or reducing the load behind old and susceptible structure. The air pockets within the pellet provide excellent thermal resistance when used as underfloor insulation within solid floor construction. Using clay pebbles will help speed up plant growth by providing plenty of aeration to the root zone. They also provide a great support structure to give your plants unparalleled stability. It can also be used as a drainage layer in plant pots for semi-hydroponic potting. If placed above as cover layer, it can provide optimum protection against dehydration. It can also be used to mix with soil in loosening the potting mix to give adequately aeration to plant roots. Expanded clay is the best growing media for your aquaponic system's media bed. It has lots of surface area for helpful bacteria to grow on and is chemically and biologically neutral which is very important for aquaponic systems. Features It is substrate for hydroponics growing it is reusable and eco friendly Serves as good surface area for bacterial growth in Aquaponic systems
