PERLITE
?
Perlite is an alumino-silicate ore of volcanic origin. The raw ore is crushed, graded and screened in various particle sizes. Perlite has a high total-porosity and improves drainage and air porosity.
-
LIMESTONE
?
Used to adjust pH to optimum range. Also a source of Calcium and Magnesium.
-
WETTING AGENT
?
A wetting agent is a substance that reduces the surface tension of water, allowing water to penetrate and uniformly wet growing media.
