| An
easy way to get rid of your old stonewool is to till it
into your soil. It will improve the tilth of your soil
- helping sandy soil retain moisture and breaking up clay
soil. Below you will find step by step pictures of stonewool
being incorporated into a raised bed garden for flowers.
1) Pick
an area to establish your plant bed. If you like, you
can use old Gro-Slabs™ to line the perimeter of the bed. Break up your soil with a shovel and/or tiller.
Add soil or compost to fill up the raised bed. Add
25-50% old stonewool to the top 1.5 feet of the raised
bed for optimum benefits.
2) Till the stonewool
into the top of the plant bed with a roto-tiller. You may
need to go over the bed 2-3 times to fully break up the
stonewool and incorporate it into the soil. You can add
fertilizer to till in as well.

3) Select
your seasonal plants for the raised bed, or plant
some seeds. Transplant into your raised bed and
water really well.
4) Add
mulch to retain moisture. Cocodan™ works well as a mulch. Always water well with newly transplanted plants. Fertilize
as needed throughout the season. |
