Expanded Clay or LECA (lightweight expanded clay aggregate) is an excellent growing medium which can be used in aquaponic farming, hydroponic growing systems, and conventional soil-based agriculture too.
Comes in 1L and 5L options of expanded clay balls

Clay balls range from 8mm-16mm in diameter

Packaged in cardboard (to reduce plastic waste)

Easy to use and mess-free

Neutral pH

Inorganic and inert

The surface of the clay has tiny holes all over its surface. This allows better root aeration and increases the available surface area for nitrate crunching bacteria to grow (perfect for aquaponic systems).

The nutrient water will dry out before the nutrients have the chance to turn to algae.
Best used in our Hydropot series, but also a suitable medium for use in flood and drain or nutrient film technique hydroponic systems.

Note: Requires an initial wash to rinse clean. Soak for a few hours and stir around before draining.

Clayballs review

This is the first time I’m using this type of product and so far I’ve been happy with the results. The plants are surviving.

Love this product!!

Honestly I was a bit skeptical this product, but I really loved it using it with hydro plants and a plant topper to prevent pests does the trick. Would 100% reccommend.
