Nursery Blend Soil Conditioner
Nursery Blend Soil Conditioner™ is a specialized gradation of Haydite soil conditioner specifically designed for the demands of commercial nursery cultivation. Nursery blend consist
primarily of 3/8"-1/8" particles sizes with nearly all dust and the very fine particles removed. [see our Greenhouse Blend for an even finer grind]
Haydite’s porous micro-surface texture and interior porous structure resist clogging and provides superior aeration that promotes growth of delicate, fine root systems.
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.
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, 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.
