Soil Mix
Unlike sand, gravel or cinders, EPS flakes
help to prevent heavy soils from baking hard. Because of their foam
structure and natural resilience, they also help to prevent hard packing
of soil by tractors and farm implements. Unlike some organic materials,
EPS flakes do not rot and dissolve away. They remain permanently in the
soil and do not soak up water.
EPS flakes can be mixed with peat for propagating composts, with
garden loam, or with nutrient-peat. For propagation, a mixture of
flakes and peat is used, containing 50% by volume peat enriched with
lime and 1.7 Lbs. of complete fertilizer per cubic yard.
Warning
- As with all organic materials, EPS soil mix must be considered
combustible when directly exposed to fire. Do not expose to open flame
or other source of ignition.
