Those who practice the fine art of
Bonsai have known for years the very special qualities Haydite
by Hydraulic Press Brick Company imparts to soil mixes. It's
unique properties help provide free passage of air and water to
root systems while significantly reducing soil compaction. The
micro porous internal structure of Haydite helps to maintain
optimum moisture levels for vigorous healthy plants.
Haydite absorbs excess water
during rain or watering, then slowly releases this excess water
as the soil dries, acting in effect like a time release capsule.
This same concept works equally well in gardening, nurseries and
turf cultivation.
Haydite is produced by
expanding and vitrifying selected shale in a rotary kiln at
temperatures in excess of 2000°F. This process makes Haydite
sterile and environmentally inert. It is a natural, non-toxic,
highly absorptive ceramic granule with a generally neutral pH.
It is dimensionally stable and will not degrade or compress like
other amending products. Haydite does not need to be re-applied
year after year. |

Create a Great Soil Profile
for Turf, Potted Plants and Gardens |
|
A healthy soil profile can be
difficult to maintain. Since most soils consist of solid particles,
water and air, it is necessary to maintain a careful balance of
these elements in order to establish a healthy root system.
Generally speaking, a good soil profile is approximately 25% water,
25% air and 50% solid particulate matter. However, when soils are
compacted, an imbalance occurs. Solid particles are pressed
together, and water and air are squeezed out. With less pore space,
soils become too dense for the movement of air, water and nutrients,
and the favorable environment for the beneficial microbial activity
necessary in a healthy growing medium is lost. The blending of
Haydite with your soil mix easily and economically restores and
maintains this delicate balance. |

With the advent of sports turf, golf
greens, and professional lawn care, the science of grass cultivation
has taken some giant steps forward. It is now generally understood
that to achieve healthy turf it is necessary to amend soils with
materials that aid and promote strong root development. HAYDITE by
Hydraulic Press Brick Company helps you create the ultimate in turf
and high performance natural sports surfaces. |
