Leca Clay Balls Expanded Ceramsite Media. Expanded ceramsite solves the problem every organic media has: it breaks down. These balls hold their shape across seasons, take up more than six hundred percent of their weight in water. Also, sit near neutral at pH six to eight.

Dutch buckets, ebb and flow trays, substrate troughs and tower systems where a permanent reusable media is preferred over seasonal coco or rockwool.
Rinse the balls to remove dust, fill the container or trough, then plant and irrigate as normal. At crop end the media can be washed and returned to store rather than sent to landfill.
Independent limits on free phenol and aldehyde mean the media is safe where edible crops are grown. Because it never decomposes, the purchase is spread across years rather than seasons. You can read more about the background of this method on Expanded clay aggregate.

No, ceramsite is inert and near neutral. As a result, it can be planted into after a rinse.
Yes, blending with perlite or coco is common where more water holding is wanted.
Several, provided they are washed well between crops to clear root debris.

The supplied product page shows strawberry and leafy-green greenhouse applications. Final planting spacing and layout should be confirmed for the specific crop and project.
The supplied page shows both galvanized support stands and hanging greenhouse layouts. The final support configuration should be matched to the greenhouse structure.
The source material includes multi-row greenhouse installations and project photographs, so the redesigned page is structured around commercial and project-based buying decisions.
For a useful project discussion, prepare the crop type, greenhouse dimensions, preferred row layout and any confirmed channel or support requirements.
Share the crop type, greenhouse size, row layout and target production plan so the sales team can discuss the appropriate gully and support configuration.
