How to use

Lay the slab on a level surface or in a tray that drains, and soak it with nutrient solution before planting. Then set rooted plants in rockwool transplanting cubes on top, so the roots grow down into the slab.

Feed through drippers: see dripper systems. Check the pH and EC of the feed and the run-off with a meter. More slabs are in rockwool slabs.
