Tight-wrapped Slabs

VidaWool slabs are tight wrapped to contain water and nutrients to the root zone. Other slabs are flow wrapped, leaving gaps for water to collect away from the root zone and requiring more water to saturate the slab.

VidaWool with Hydro-Xtend Tight-wrapped Slabs

• Tight-wrapped to keep water and nutrients near the root zone.
• Lack of gaps conserves water and nutrients.

Other rock wool growing media

• Loose gaps in packaging affect moisture retention contributing to uneven water distribution.
• Water and nutrients can drain to gaps away from root zone.

Block Placement

VidaWool slabs feature optional pre-cut liners for rapid and uniform block placement. Every second counts in today’s tight labor market. Other growing media require labor-intensive cutting or scoring before blocks can be placed, which can lead to uneven spacing, plant crowding and an unsightly appearance.
