Buyer guidance

When a 20% perlite high-porosity mix fits

ASB Grower Mix 20 is a peat and perlite grower mix for greenhouse programs that need more oxygen flow and faster drainage than a standard all-purpose substrate. It is a practical option when irrigation control, root-zone air space, and longer crop cycles are central to the production plan.

Specification checks

Choosing the right high-porosity level

Before buying
  • Use it when tomatoes, peppers, or similar greenhouse crops need a more open root-zone profile.
  • Compare it with lower-perlite mixes when the current program stays too wet or root activity slows after irrigation.
  • Check dry-down speed, water distribution, and fertilizer response under the grower’s normal irrigation strategy.
  • Confirm whether 20% perlite gives enough air space before moving to more aggressive high-porosity substrates.
Best fit

Use GM20 when the program needs a high porosity substrate with a clear perlite component but does not need the most open or fiber-supported option.

Compare against

Compare it with PW30 or PW420 when the crop needs stronger drainage, added wood fiber structure, or more specialty-crop positioning.

Before committing

Test root quality, dry-down consistency, crop uniformity, and irrigation adjustments across the real container size and crop cycle.
