'expanded clay balls'

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.

ECA is round pellet structure produced by firing natural clay at temperature of 1200°C. The result is a hard, honeycombed structure of interconnecting voids within the aggregate. The particles formed are rounded in shape and generally range in size from 0-30mm; these are processed to the required grading, depending on the final use. ECA is an extremely light weight, strong and thermally insulating material. ADVANTAGES PREVENTS ROOT ROT Another result of increased Oxygen levels and improved drainage is that aerobic (air breathing) bacteria populations remain strong which keep the disease causing anaerobic (non air breathing) bacteria at bay. PROVIDES PHYSICAL STABILITY When growing outdoors with a lightweight media such as coco pit etc., , blending some ECA into the mix will give planters the extra weight they need to resist getting knocked over by wind, rain or small animals. REDUCES WATERING REQUIREMENTS & WATER EVAPORATION By top dressing your pots and planters with a one to two inch layer of ECA evaporative losses are reduced which effectively conserves water and increases the time between watering EASY REUSE ECA can be kept for an unlimited time, without ever changing. Supplied in bags it is easy to use, store, carry and dose. BLOCKS ALGAE AND FUNGUS GNATS A top dressing of ECA also serves to block direct light from reaching the growing media which prevents problematic algae from growing on its surface. This 'dry' top dressing also deters fungus gnats from colonizing your containers with their root destroying larvae. *Environment-friendly *Non-combustible *Natural insulation *Vegetation in the roof can also help prevent UV rays *Very light, yet holds moisture

Biological filter material, ideal for larger and trickle filters. Effective pollutants degradation trough 140m²/l colonization area. Provides crystal clear water in your aquarium and pond. Binds phosphates and reduces algae growth. Very light and self-cleaning filter media. In big ponds and aquariums the increased metabolism due to high fish populations often leads to increased water pollution. For this reason Aquaclay F-4-10 was developed. Aquaclay F-4-10 should ideally be put in the provided filter medium bags. Aquaclay F-4-10 should be washed under warm, running water before filling the filter. During the first filling of the filter the bacteria need approximately 2-4 weeks to reach about 70% of the filtration performance. After 4-6 weeks nearly 100% of the filtration performance is accomplished. The colonization time can be reduced by using bacterial cultures (bacteria starter). Aqua clay balls are designed as a hydroponic medium. They allow for great root penetration and aeration. One of the most popular hydroponic mediums, Canna Clay Balls are the perfect medium for use in hydroponic wicks and pots. Clay Balls are also great for using in the base of a pot, when growing in soil or coco, as they provide excellent drainage and aeration. They can also be used to provide greater aeration in heavier potting mixes. *Biological filter material, ideal for larger and trickle filters. *Effective pollutants degradation trough 140m²/l colonization area. *Provides crystal clear water in your aquarium and pond. *Binds phosphates and reduces algae growth. *Very light and self-cleaning filter media.
