HydraFiber EZ Blend engineered-fiber growing media delivers the proven performance of HydraFiber Ultra without the need for specialized processing equipment. Made in the USA, this consistent, reliable amendment or alternative to perlite, peat, coir and other substrates blends easily into existing mix lines and transitions seamlessly into current programs. High total porosity, superior water-holding capacity and better air space support root development and exceptional finished plant quality, while compressed bales and towers ship efficiently to help reduce freight bills, save storage space and lower inventory carrying costs.
Key Points
- Consistent, reliable and readily available amendment or alternative to perlite, peat, coir and other substrates that blends easily on existing pad mix, bale buster, ribbon blender or peat processing equipment lines.
- Engineered for consistency using Profile Products’ patented Thermally Refined® process, with pH 4.4 +/- 0.4, EC 0.01 – 0.20 mS/cm, moisture content 26% +/- 4% and organic matter 97.5% +/- 0.2%.
- Total porosity of 92–97%, container capacity (WHC) of 65–69% and air pore space of 25–29% provide high porosity, superior water-holding ability and better air space for root zone development.
- EZ Blend is a 1:1 replacement for perlite in mixes, with one bale replacing 2.5 bags of 4-cu. ft. perlite; compressed 40-lb bales and 95-cu. ft. towers expand to 10 ft.3 and 400 ft.3, and a graphic compares one HydraFiber EZ Blend semi with 1.5 coir semis, 2 peat semis and 3 perlite semis to highlight shipping efficiency.
