EXPANDED SHALE

Expanded Shale is a lightweight aggregate that is an ideal growing media for hydroponic or aquaponic systems. The shale is mined, crushed and fired under high temperatures in a rotary kiln, producing a clean, inert, porous, and light material... Bigelow Brook Farm ships product in bulk to authorized wholesale, distribution, and retail channels. Bulk consists of the expanded shale packaged in 25 liter bags and palletized. We also offer 40 and 25 liter boxes which are designed for standard UPS or FedEx shipping. As a convenience and cost savings to our customers, we also provide the ability to drop-ship orders directly to the end-user... On special occasions, we open our greenhouse to the public. We provide both general open houses and scheduled tours.
