Bale 3.8 cf Growers Mix 30/P Baccto

3.8 CF Grower Mix. This all-purpose, lightweight, commercial-grade growing medium is designed for greenhouse use, bedding plants, containers, and vegetables. This professional blend utilizes a premium, vacuum-harvested sphagnum peat moss base combined with coarse perlite to achieve maximum air porosity and balanced water retention. For general greenhouse use, containers, and bedding plants, this growers mix is the Professional's choice. It is a pH-stable vacuumed sphagnum peat and perlite mixture,  pH-adjusted by adding dolomitic lime.  It is high nutrient and pH buffering.  Contains a balance of major and minor nutrients and wetting agents.  

• Composition: Formulated primarily from vacuumed horticultural sphagnum peat moss and coarse perlite.
• pH Balanced: Naturally buffered and pH-adjusted using dolomitic limestone to ensure root stability and prevent rapid pH fluctuations. 
• Nutrient Charge: Pre-blended with a balanced mix of major and minor nutrient elements alongside specialized wetting agents for easy initial watering and quick re-moistening. 
• Physical Profile: A single compressed bale weighs approximately 60 lbs, with dimensions measuring 14.5" x 17" x 25". When fully uncompressed and fluffed, it yields significantly more usable loose volume.
• Porosity & Drainage: Engineered to possess the highest air porosity among BACCTO's peat-and-perlite mixtures, protecting plants against waterlogged roots and perched water tables. 

Compressed bales (3.8 cu ft) are packed tightly under high pressure for shipping and nearly double in volume when opened and fluffed. Major soil manufacturers (like BACCTO Professional Grower's Mix in a 3.8 cubic foot compressed bale) state that a 3.8 cubic foot compressed bale yields approximately 7.0 to 7.5 cubic feet of usable, loose soil.
