Great Progress In Our R&D Area

It’s been a productive month and our indoor facility is really starting to take shape. Jason has been busy laying out systems and planting up for our trial work. We’re experimenting with a few different types of growing media with our tomato plants and a variety of nutrient additives on our chillies. We’ve got fruit starting to form on our vertical shelf of strawberries and lots of herbs and salads in our easy2propagate Kits. There are just a few more additions to strategically place here and there. Oh, and we are also going to go for a Guinness World Record, but we’ll keep you guessing on that one for a while longer!

The bumble bees are doing a fantastic job of pollinating the flowers. We’ve now purchased our second bee box as the number of plants in there has significantly increased and, unfortunately, we lost a few bees to spider webs! If you’re planning on introducing bees to your facility then do ensure that you get the duster out and remove any large webs. Obviously a healthy spider population will keep flying pests at bay, but it may be at the expense of your bees. Hopefully our insect population will reach a happy equilibrium soon. Please visit Facebook to see the latest grow room videos, we hope you’ll be impressed with the variety and growth rates of our plants. All in all it’s looking lovely up there and the plants seem very happy.
