Specialty Products Specialty Products FlexiMix® FlexiMix is a peat based potting soil amendment that is manufactured in a process similar to Grow-Tech’s FlexiPlugs®. The resulting rooting sponge is then shredded into a granular material. FlexiMix has high air-filled porosity and a uniquely high water holding capacity. This means not only greater water retention but an aggregate structure that will guard against over watering. FlexiMix resists soil compaction longer than traditional mixes which makes it an excellent choice for urban plantings such as street trees and turf repair in high traffic...
