QUALITY BEGINS WITH THE MATERIAL

Small details.
Stronger foundations.

Peat and chips play different roles. Screening, treatment and physical grading help define a substrate suited to the growing system.

BUYING GUIDE / 01

Compare like
with like.

A blend ratio is only one line in the specification. Ask suppliers to define the particle grade, treatment, moisture basis and test method as well.

  • Record expanded dimensions or volume.
  • Use the same EC extraction method when comparing figures.
  • Agree what the quoted quantity and packaging include.
  • Request relevant product and batch information.
PROJECT CHECKLIST / 02

From nursery
to production.

Connect the nursery format with the final growing system before ordering.

  • Confirm cube or tray dimensions.
  • Define the transplant and planting layout.
  • Specify irrigation and drainage arrangements.
  • Share climate and water-quality information with your adviser.
COMMERCIAL PLANNING / 03

Plan the
complete order.

Material and packaging choices affect the order brief. Nominal volume is a planning input, not a shipping promise.

  • Separate crop requirements from pack sizes.
  • State destination and delivery timing.
  • Confirm pallet and container-loading details with the quotation.
  • Agree the specification before shipment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Let’s make
the details clear.

Ask a different question
What information helps Teral quote accurately?

Share the crop, growing system, product format, expanded dimensions or volume, quantity, destination and required timing. Include your EC test method and material requirements if already specified.

Can I customise the blend and bag?

Yes. Blend, dimensions, planting holes, drainage layout and packaging can be discussed for your order. Confirm all details in the final specification.

Do you offer white and black bags?

White and black UV-treated bag options are available. Tell us your growing system and preferred film colour when requesting a quotation.

Are catalogue dimensions the only options?

No. The catalogue provides starting options. Custom dimensions and volumes can be discussed, including wider slabs and litre-based container formats.

Does a bag size determine water-holding capacity?

No. Bag dimensions alone do not establish water-holding capacity or air-filled porosity. Request measurements for the relevant material and agreed test conditions rather than treating a dimension as a performance specification.

Where can I get product specifications?

Download the catalogue for the range and initial options. Contact Teral for the agreed product grade, test method, sample enquiry and commercial specification.
