Tomato, cucumber, peppers: our substrates are the ultimate growing medium for any vegetable or herb. Why? Thanks to our innovative production process, which results in an optimal air-water ratio. Moreover, thanks to their moisture-retaining properties, our substrates can be properly irrigated over and over again – a unique property of coco. In addition to this, bad soil quality and soil diseases become a thing of the past. This also helps you achieve a better yield per square meter and lower your fertiliser use.
FRESH50: the proven coco growbag to optimize vegetable growth
In 2023, we introduced a new product line for vegetable cultivation, called: FRESH50 – Read all about this product in our brochure.
The core of this improvement is a renewed unique raw material: micro/mini chips + short coconut fibers. This enables us to achieve a higher air % with fewer coarse chips.
Basically our growbags are manufactured by making uniform blends of coarse and fine raw materials: coco-chips, coco-fiber and coco pith. Or as a special Double Layer: coco-chips at the bottom and coco pith on top. Some manufacturers however use so-called ‘crush’ for growbags: varying too much in our opinion, a lack of uniformity and a too limited moisture retention capacity.
Our technical department in collaboration with our R&D designed and constructed new machines for improved structures resulting in great physical characteristics: air-% from 40-50% at -10 cm with high uniformity in a perfect balanced coarse structure. Each grade is complementing to the other one. That’s unique!
Ready for the future
Sustainability is high on the political agenda all over the world. Moreover, fresh water is becoming more and more scarce. Therefore, regulations on water and fertiliser use are becoming stricter. Unlike soil, substrates require less irrigation. But there’s more! Our 100% organic substrates can be used for several seasons. Interested in a more sustainable, future-proof approach to your cultivation and keen on finding out more about the switch to coco substrates? We will gladly provide you with all the information you need.
