Know before you buy
Riococo slabs are washed five times to remove excess salts and dust, which prevents root stress and ensures a clean, consistent growing medium. Their specific air-to-water ratio promotes better oxygenation for roots compared to traditional dense soil mixes.
Yes, these slabs are OMRI-listed, meaning they meet the strict standards for organic production. They are a sustainable, natural choice for growing vegetables without synthetic additives.
These slabs offer a medium moisture retention level with moderate drainage. Because they are designed for optimal aeration, you should monitor your plants' hydration closely, as they may require more frequent watering than heavy, peat-based soils.
The slabs have a balanced pH range of 5.5 to 6.5, with an average of 6.0. This is the ideal range for most vegetable crops, so you generally won't need to add amendments to adjust the acidity before planting.
When fully hydrated and expanded, each slab measures 100cm in length, 15cm in width, and 12cm in height. Ensure your grow trays or garden beds are sized to accommodate these dimensions.
