Greenhouses offer the perfect balance of controlled environment and sunlight, making them ideal for growing short-cycle crops with specific needs. But how do you ensure your plants thrive within this setting?
Root Pouch steps in to optimise your greenhouse experience. Our specially designed fabrics cater to short-cycle crops, promoting extra root growth and vitality to help you achieve your desired results.
Building a Strong Foundation
From the first planting, Root Pouches work their magic. Unlike traditional containers that allow roots to circle, Root Pouch fabrics encourage the development of dense, fibrous root balls, even during short growing cycles. This translates to a stronger root system - the foundation for thriving plants.
Seeing is Believing
Extensive testing demonstrates that Root Pouch consistently outperforms root-pruning plastic containers. While slit pots may offer some air pruning, they often require multiple daily watering. Root Pouch, on the other hand, utilises entrapment pruning, significantly reducing your watering needs.
Don't just take our word for it: Hear directly from the head grower at J. Frank Schmidt and discover their impressive results.
Efficiency at Scale
One potential concern with fabric containers is potting. While it's a different process compared to traditional methods, it doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, many large nurseries, like Agromillora Nursery, successfully navigate this transition by keeping things simple. They process over 1,000 2-gallon Root Pouches every hour, translating to nearly one million plants per year.
The benefits extend beyond initial growth: Root Pouch fundamentally improves both quality and efficiency throughout the entire process, including harvest.
Simplifying Handling
Moving large quantities of plants, whether between greenhouses or onto trucks, can be a challenge. Our sturdy handles provide your team with the support they need, making light work of handling thousands of units.
Maintaining Quality for Your Customers
Compared to plastic pots, Root Pouch fabric offers superior benefits for your customers. It maintains optimal root temperature during transport, eliminates the need for cardboard and paper trunk protection, and allows you to load up to 15% more plants per truckload.
With Root Pouch, you can optimise your greenhouse growing experience from start to finish, fostering healthy plant growth and efficient operations.
