The guy at the store recomended this stuff to me and it seems like a really good alternative to clay pebbles for DWC, etc but really would like some opinions from here before I splash the cash on it.
Description:
Diahydro™ consists of the fossilised shells of algae (diatoms) that lived millions of years ago. Diahydro™ is produced from natural earth of a fresh water source. Products containing saltwater diatomite can contain high levels of impurities which significantly reduce the positive characteristics of Diahydro™ , by clogging the diatoms and reducing absorbency potential. Diatomite is extremely high in Silica (87-94%), an essential component for the growth of plants and strengthening of cell walls.
* 100% natural.
* High silica content (87-94%).
* Super absorbency (150% of own weight in water).
* Optimal thermal conditioning at the root level.
* Protection from crawling insects.
* Chemically Inert.
* PH neutral (6-7).
* Does not agglomerate due to multi-faceted structure.
* High cation-anion exchange (CEC*) of 42.
Thanks folks.
