3. Advantage of LECA
LECA has many advantage for agriculture and landscapes, it is used as a growing medium in Hydroponics
systems, andblended with other growing mediums such as soil and peat to improve drainage, retain water during

vigorous growth.LECA can mixwith normal sweet soil in order to reduce the weight of plants and landscapes
soils.
What makes it good for hydroponics?
The properties of LECA are highly attractive to hydroponic gardeners; it is inert, can be used multiple times
and is also pH neutral. As it is made up of hard, porous pellets it also enhances the levels of oxygen the plants
are exposed to and drains well in hydroponics systems.
As an Insulator
Expanded clay pebbles have a low thermal conductivity coefficient, giving it the properties of heat insulation.
Clay pebbles are also used to make #50-#150 aggregative concrete, a product useful for construction. These
properties make clay pebbles suitable for several uses, including:
- Roof insulation
- Ground Damp Proof
- Inner walls in Chimneys
