Lambert LM-6 High Porosity Mix | 3.8cu ft - Compressed (30/PL)

High Air Capacity Growing Media for Demanding Crops, 3.8cu ft

Some crops need a growing medium that drains faster and holds more air around the roots than a standard peat-based mix provides, and adding coarse perlite alone doesn't always give the medium the structural chunks that keep it from compacting under regular irrigation. Lambert LM-6 High Porosity Mix combines long-fibered Canadian sphagnum peat moss with large peat chunks and coarse perlite, built specifically for higher air capacity and drainage.

This 3.8cu ft compressed bag runs roughly 75-85% Canadian sphagnum peat moss with 15-25% coarse perlite, suited to crops that need more air at the root zone than standard peat-based mixes provide.

Key Features & Benefits

• 75-85% Long-Fibered Peat Moss — the porous base of the mix.
• 15-25% Coarse Perlite — boosts air capacity beyond standard mixes.
• Large Peat Chunks Added — increases structure and drainage.
• Built for Demanding Crops — suited to plants that need higher air capacity.

Who Should Use Lambert LM-6 High Porosity Mix

This mix fits growers working with crops that need extra air capacity and fast drainage beyond what standard peat-based mixes provide, since the added peat chunks and coarse perlite keep the medium from compacting under regular irrigation.

About Lambert

Lambert Peat Moss Inc. formulates its LM-6 mix for high porosity, combining long-fibered peat, peat chunks, and coarse perlite, drawing on the company's coarse-to-fine peat grading process to build a structural, well-draining medium for demanding crops.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this mix higher porosity than a standard peat mix?

The addition of large peat chunks and coarse perlite to long-fibered peat moss increases air capacity beyond what a finer, standard peat blend provides. Those chunks keep the medium from compacting the way a straight fine peat mix can under regular irrigation.

What is the peat content of this mix?

The mix is approximately 75-85% Canadian sphagnum peat moss. That peat forms the base, with peat chunks and perlite added for structure.

How much perlite is included?

It includes 15-25% coarse perlite. That's a higher perlite ratio than a general-purpose mix, which is part of what gives LM-6 its higher air capacity.

What crops is this mix best suited for?

Crops that require higher air capacity and drainage than standard mixes provide, such as plants prone to root rot in denser media. It's meant as a higher-porosity option rather than a general-purpose blend.
