Blending & Filling

Profile/AgriNomix Container Filling Trials

To fill your pots with the proper amount of HydraFiber, at the right compaction rate, you’ll need to make adjustments to your HPU’s belt speed and gate height. This sheet shows what adjustments need to be made and how to make them. To see what the HPU at a proper fill rate looks like, see Getting Good Filling Results with HydraFiber Blends: With Soil Conditioner or Without Soil Conditioner.

“Adding HydraFiber to our production has been seamless, especially with our larger containers.”

Amy Morris

N.G Heimos Greenhouses, Inc - Millstadt, IL

"HydraFiber does definitely wet easier than our other mixes…it has helped us get plants wetter right after transplant. We have not changed anything in our fertilization program, which has been an easy transition. Everything we have done so far with HydraFiber, we have not seen any issues with any plant having any adverse conditions at all."

Tom Samuelson

Head Grower

"The biggest efficiency is space savings. We're able to bring in 3 to 4 loads of compressed HydraFiber vs. 30 to 40 of perlite."

"For the end user in a patio pot or basket, we see a lot of benefits from HydraFiber in not having to water as much and growing a bigger, better, healthier plant."

Ric Stevens

Sales Manager

Heartland Growers, Westfield, IN

“We were impressed, not only with its ability to retain water, but also its ability to have porosity at the same time, which almost seems like an oxymoron, but it definitely happens. HydraFiber holds water and doesn’t dry out as quickly, but at the same time, when it’s wet, it doesn’t turn into mud or mush.”
