BVM-1

Bulk
New residential areas, as well as new transportation infrastructure, highlight the need to restore green spaces to improve the health of our environment and our well-being. The BVM-1 growing medium is formulated from plant-based Mantillo and volcanic sand with a particle size of 0–6 mm. Plant-based compost provides all the benefits of an organic soil amendment; the presence of organic matter aids in water retention, helps maintain the substrate’s structure, and, over the long term, releases nutrients in small, gradual doses. Furthermore, volcanic material is notable for its good aeration, chemical inertness, and structural stability. In addition, the BVM-1 substrate for green roofs includes a base fertilizer in its formulation to facilitate rooting and the initial growth of plants. Product advantages: High water retention capacity. Excellent drainage. High porosity. Low bulk density. High coverage capacity and ability to form a green cover (reducing weed growth). The entire manufacturing process, as well as the final product, is subject to our rigorous quality control procedures based on ISO 9001 and 14001 standards, with the aim of ensuring customer satisfaction and respect for the environment in all our activities.

The BVM-1 growing medium is formulated from composted Mantillo and volcanic sand with a particle size of 0–6 mm.

The BVM-1 substrate is an organic MIXED GROWING MEDIUM made from plant Mantillo and volcanic gravel. This product allows for the establishment of a semi-extensive green roof, or semi-extensive ecological roofs—and in some cases, intensive ones—for the cultivation of plant species with low irrigation needs: low-growing Mediterranean-type plants, groundcover plants, and species suited for xeriscaping.

The BVM-1 substrate allows for the planting of cultivated species in a minimal layer of substrate that can be less than 10 cm thick. Using thin layers of substrate helps reduce the final weight of the cover.
