Process

The Buckeye State Tree Nursery is seeking quotes for the supply of high-quality soilless media specifically engineered for use in NGL Ellepot machinery. To ensure compatibility with our automated filling systems, the media must meet the following technical specifications:

  1. Composition: A uniform blend consisting of traditional high-grade Sphagnum Peat Moss combined with Wood Fiber.
  2. Processing: All media must be pre-screened to a fine/consistent texture to prevent clogging or bridging in automated Ellepot dispensers.
  3. Physical Properties: The material must be free of large debris, sticks, or oversized aggregates that could interfere with the paper-potting process.
    1. and Packaging Quantity: 60 BM5 Compressed Bales.
    2. Size: 110 ft^3 (compressed).
    3. Rate: Media must yield an approximate decompressed volume of 220–230 ft^3 per bale upon processing.
