Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Base Mix HP w/ Peat, Coir+ & Perlite designed for?The Base Mix HP is designed for growers who prefer a lighter, more aerated substrate. It combines our Base Blend foundation with added peat, coir, and perlite to deliver increased air porosity and responsive drainage.
- What are the physical properties of the Base Mix HP?1. The Blend creates a wettable mix that will always rewet no matter how dry. 2. The Blend, when stored in a bulk mix pile, will not "shed" water as it does with a bark/peat mix pile. 3. Coir is absorbent rather than adsorbent, making it difficult to overwater. Ample water holding capacity combined with improved drainage eliminates the environment for root disease and freeze damage.
- What are the chemical properties of the Base Mix HP?4. The Blend does not decompose readily; it takes 16-24 months for the process to begin once potted. 5. The Blend is very stable chemically with a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5. 6. It has a higher buffering capacity, allowing more time to adjust water or nutrition balance. 7. The Blend has a higher Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) than Bark with Peat.
- What is the General Purpose HP Mix and what is it used for?The General Purpose HP Mix, BB 400F with Aged Pine, Coir, Peat & Perlite, is designed for perennial, planter, mum, and HB production with an electrical conductivity (EC) level below 1.0.
