Clay pebbles are made from 100% natural clay. They are clean, pH stable, and offer great aeration and drainage.
Clay pebbles can be used for…
- Aeration of growing media – ideal to mix into coco coir or soil to aid aeration
- Drainage – will hold water as well as offering great aeration properties and free draining
- Decoration – looks great as a top dressing for pots and also helps to prevent evaporation
- Hydroponics/hydroculture – used widely in hydroponic growing, they are ideal for flood and drain deep water culture, and drip feed systems
- Aquaponics – are also ideal to be used in aquaponic systems
Benefits
- Strong structural integrity means that they are less likely to break and compact, which helps to prevent dripper systems from getting blocked
- Pre-washed to aid in stability
- Drains freely and does not hold any excess water, providing good oxygen levels around the root; suitable for flood and drain systems, multi-pot, and drip feed systems
When used in aeration of growing media, mix clay pebbles into your coco coir or soil at a rate of 4 parts clay to 7 parts soil to loosen up the structure, leading to better root development.
