What can GROWIT Clay Pebbles 40L be used for?
These Clay Pebbles can be used for a wide variety of things. Some growers mix it into their existing coco coir or soil to add aeration, similar to adding perlite. Others use it to improve the drainage of their soil or coco, as it has great water holding and aeration balance.
It also helps prevent evaporation from your grow media when you top dress your soil with it, while also making it tougher for soil borne pests and diseases to infiltrate your pots or containers. But, most growers use GROWIT Clay Pebbles 40L as a standalone grow media, in their hydroponic systems. If you plan on using it to supplement your growing media for aeration purposes, we recommend mixing up your coco and pebbles at a rate of 4 parts pebbles to 7 parts soil. This will lead to better soil conditions, healthier roots, and thus, healthier, higher-yielding plants.
