ReNu Terra vs. Substrates

Re-Nuble’s category-defining product line, ReNu Terra, uniquely balances water and oxygen, ensuring a consistently desired environment for roots to flourish and produce a higher yield. Re-Nuble believes in having a high-quality horticulture substrate that supports water availability, increased air supply, low density, and structural integrity.

Other more dense and compact mediums, such as Peat, Rockwool, and Coco Coir, are dense and compact, labor intensive, and create waste. Below, we've outlined the key differences in substrate types.
