How to reset your Foodcube
Bio Gro
Together Bio Gro and Biofilta have developed a Premium Wicking Mix. It is the ideal growing media for the Foodcube.
Can't get the Premium Wicking Mix?
We recommend blending:
- Good quality potting mix – approximately 9 x 30 litre bags per Foodcube
- Fertiliser (slow release)
- Coir block (Coconut Fibre) – 1 x 60 litre equivalent block per Foodcube
- Soak the coir in a wheelbarrow or tub. Mix all ingredients thoroughly before placing in the Foodcube.
* Over time you can also add manures, compost and worm castings.
Foodcube Reset instructions
Prepare for reset
• harvest remaining crops
• remove old roots and plant remains
• break up compacted chunks to loosen the soil texture
The Reset Ingredients (recipe is for 1 Foodcube)
1 x 25L bag of compost
300gm (1½ cups) of Gypsum
200gm (1 cup) of Dynamic Lifter
100gm (½ cup) of Dolomite Lime
Mix it Up!
Combine these ingredients and mix them through your existing potting mix. As you are mixing you are also aerating your Foodcube. This creates openings in the mix which improves air, water, and nutrient penetration to the roots. This all contributes to better plant growth and ultimately increased harvests.
