Fast Track Option

If you do not have the opportunity to follow the above, the following procedure proved successful in trials.

1. Set GrowZorb slabs into position.
2. Cut for transplant placement.
3. Set transplants and position drippers on uphill side of the blocks.
4. Commence irrigation on the normal cycle.
5. Do not slit until the slab has been completely filled for at least 24 hours.

GrowZorb Drainage Slit

The requirement for a reservoir within the slab is determined by a combination of factors.

First is the delivery capacity of your irrigation system.

The GrowZorb does not require an internal reservoir if the delivery capacity is above 1.8 1/sq.m./hour.

For delivery systems with a lower capacity, the reservoir created by slitting should hold approximately 250 ml for each plant in the slab.

Second is the current media volume per plant.

If you maintain a reservoir in your current media, an equal per plant volume reservoir will be required in the GrowZorb.

If current media volume per plant is above 10 litres, a reservoir will be required in the GrowZorb. And in cases where the current media volume per plant results in irrigation frequency being less than once per 30 minutes on the hottest days, the GrowZorb reservoir volume should be 500 ml per plant in the slab.
