Libra Box 102 cm, Incl. 2 Drain Pipes

The Libra box is a classic among hydroponic systems. It is one of the oldest systems still in use today.

The Libra boxes are normally filled with rock wool or coconut slabs, which are then supplied with drip irrigation. On the upper side (side facing the light) the slabs are provided with cross cuts in the plastic film where the young plants are then to be placed in the rockwool cubes. At the bottom of the slab, many bevel cuts are made across the width of the slab. These cuts serve to drain the slab, so when the slab is sufficiently watered, the remaining amount can run off through the cuts at the bottom of the slab.

The drain pieces of the Libra box should possibly be sealed a bit extra, otherwise the connection points between the drain and the box could leak.

If the plants are placed in the Libra boxes, care should be taken to ensure that there is enough space for the individual plants. If you intend to let your plants grow in the Libra boxes, then the use of at least one or two tiers of support netting over the entire planting area is necessary, as the plants in the Libra boxes will find almost no support.
