SPONGE ROX and it's Development in Australia after numerous years of research and investigation made from all natural mineral materials that were first discovered thousands of years ago. They act as a cage for water and minerals so they are good for your garden the environment or just about anywhere you put them. SPONGE ROX have been tested in a wide range of situations as seen herein a few examples are in fridges pigs poultry fish plants puppies and more, SPONGE ROX has tested safe, non toxic and benefits every situation it is used in.
A number of commercial systems using large numbers of earthworms to stabilise organic waste and converting it to vermicast have been developed. These treat a range of organic wastes, including domestic organic matter, abattoir waste, green waste, fruit and vegetable waste, wood pulp and cardboard, sewage sludge, animal manures etc and utilise SPONGE ROX .
These systems are virtually odourless and relatively low-cost. The reason the systems are essentially odourless is due partly to the correct blend of carbon and nitrogenous wastes and largely due to the application of SPONGE ROX in all of the waste mixes. Although some of the material may go anaerobic before the worms can process it, their ability to nibble at the edges and move in and out of the organic waste substance means they turn the material without exposing it to the atmosphere, hence no odours are created. The technology utilised also promotes an aerobic environment which speeds up the conversion process.
In traditional Vermiculture, nitrogen values decrease rapidly, due mainly to it escaping (volatising) to the atmosphere. One of the advantages of SPONGE ROX is that in eliminating odours, it traps nitrogen through cation exchange. This means the end product has high levels of nitrogen, which, in turn, makes it more valuable.
The accumulation of heavy metals in the earthworms has been a concern with some wastes and, once again, SPONGE ROXprovides a solution. When heavy metals are exchanged and trapped in the SPONGE ROXthey cannot be extracted by plants or earthworms and this process inhibits bioaccumulation of heavy metals in worms.
Stabilising the pH of a worm bed is important, and lime is often used in small-scale operations, even though it is inappropriate. Lime tends to dry the ammonia out, leaving the end product lower in value. Once again SPONGE ROX has proven to be the answer. SPONGE ROXhelps raise and lower the pH of a waste through cation exchange, as distinct from lime, which will only raise the pH.
To obtain the maximum benefits from SPONGE ROX in Vermiculture, it is important to have the SPONGE ROX well mixed with the organic waste. Typical applications will use 3 to 5% of SPONGE ROX on a weight to volume basis. Ie 30 - 50 kg of SPONGE ROX per cubic metre of waste.
SPONGE ROX crystals can also be used to naturally control many other types of odours and moisture problems. Sachets of SPONGE ROX can easily be placed in problem areas to work continuously.
Natural Activated SPONGE ROX can perform a variety of functions due to their high ion exchange capacity, adsorption-Desorption energies, propensity for modification, potential for regeneration and recycling. Frequently Activated SPONGE ROX can reduce production costs and increase yields whilst reducing environmental pollution. Activated SPONGE ROX have significant and substantial applications in:
Horticulture and Agriculture Retain and slowly release (due to their high cation exchange capacity) nutrients in the root zone resulting in savings in water and fertiliser. Further, they help prevent soluble fertiliser leaching and polluting ground and surface waters.
Horticulture and Agriculture Soil Amendment for Vegetables, Sugar Cane, Cut Flowers, Fruit, Cotton, Home Gardens; Potting Mix Component, Cutting Raising Medium, Orchid Raising Medium, Turf Dressing and Construction, Plug Mixes, Inert Medium for Plants Raised for Export. An Increasing Number of Growers Have Indicated Improved Plant Health and Vigor, Higher Yields, Shorter Production Times and Savings in Water and Fertiliser.
Activated SPONGE ROX are Nature's Slow Release Fertiliser. Their Very High Cation Exchange Capacity attracts, holds and slowly releases beneficial plant nutrient cations such as Nitrogen (N) and Potassium (K).
Activated SPONGE ROX lower water and fertiliser costs significantly by retaining (against downward leaching and bacterial activity) beneficial nutrients within the root zone.
Ammonium Pre-loaded Activated SPONGE ROX (Clinoptilolite) significantly minimises n leaching from sandy soils. Activated SPONGE ROX substantially increase N, P, K assimilation by plants.
Environmentally Friendly: lowers fertiliser costs whilst reducing harmful leachates entering ground and surface waters.
Increases water holding capacity whilst keeping the growing medium open and aerated. Activated SPONGE ROX s, tilled into the soil, will add a permanent water reservoir, providing prolonged moisture holding power between natural rainfall events or interrupted irrigation cycles.
Sustains air filled porosity and improves structure of compacted soils.
one application for permanent benefits, rapid rewetting, promotes downwards infiltration and lateral spread of water through the root zone. Water filtration, apart from the removal of solids and colloids, increasingly demands the efficient removal contaminants including heavy metals and other toxic substances, bacteria and other parasites. Conventional sand filter systems do no remove all contaminants.
The filtering abilities of Activated SPONGE ROX (natural forms) offer a versatile and environmentally friendly option to capture most contaminants found in water systems. Natural Activated SPONGE ROX can perform these functions due to their high ion exchange capacity, adsorption-Desorption energies and ability to modification. Activated SPONGE ROX have an open, regular crystalline framework that generates an electric field that interacts, attracts and binds various cations and, after modification, anions. Activated SPONGE ROX can remove ammonium (NH4+) and metal cations Pb, Cu, Cd, Zn, Co, Cr, Mn and Fe from solutions with the recovery of ammonium and some metals (Pb, CU) as high as 97%.
Activated SPONGE ROX can be used to filter and purify town water supplies, sewerage effluent, biological wetlands, industrial and mining wastewater, aquaculture ponds and swimming pools. Water filtration, apart from the removal of solids and colloids, increasingly demands the efficient removal contaminants including heavy metals and other toxic substances, bacteria and other parasites. Conventional sand filter systems do no remove all contaminants and therefore alternative or additional systems are required so that the water quality meets compliance regulations.
