IF YOU ARE AN INVESTER THEN CONTACT US NOW FOR A GREEN INVESTMENT.
If you are a grower and would like to partner up with then please contact us. We can offer indoor growing of a range of crops and a range of solutions.
In 1998 Grahame was not using any Chemicals or pesticides on his Cherry Tomatoe Nursery, Instead the Nursery relied on Biological Control MethodsWhere a weekly pest count was carried out and Bumble Bees from Holland pollinated the fruit. The crop was Grown on Rockwool ( an inert media) and irrigation was controlled by a "Priva" Computor which delivered the Nutriants by Drip irrigation to the plants. This form of " Hydroponic Growing " is still used today by proffesional growers.
Grahame also has grown in-side a warehouse on a commercial basis although some people think this is a new technoligy.
Horticultural director Grahame Dunling, who is the third generation of the Dunling family who is a professional commercial grower, has been aware of the challenges involved in designing high intensity solution culture systems. Grahame's knowledge and expertise saw the development of customized Horticultural systems for over 20 years; the system will incorporate the use of the latest technology in soilless growing media.
The system features not only new technology in tray loading machinery and customized growing channels, but also incorporates high technology growing greenhouse equipment such as UV nutrient treatment, filters and automated nutrient and greenhouse control , the media used to raise and support the seedlings needs to be suitable for this purpose. Rockwool has been avoided for this reason, the system will also incorporate new lighting technology that has been designed by HGS and purpose built.
Having set up HGS in the hope of promoting, sustainable hydroponic growing. This is a concept of growing leafy salads in an enclosed controlled insulated environment, therefore saving the waste energy that is released into the atmosphere. By using the latest growing techniques including Lighting ( LED’s). The whole growing practice can be sustainable. See the Plants here
- Using insulated buildings keeps heating/ cooling cost down
- Use of solar energy by using roof space
- Recirculation of water and nutrients keeps cost down
- Inert material for plant growth that is either recycled and used as fuel
- By growing local food, transport cost are kept to a minimum therefore cutting fuel miles.
- Vertical growing grows per Cubic meter not Square meter,
- Produce could either be cut and sold from site or supplied to local shops for same day sale, therefore produce has a better shelf life and in turn has more flavour
- Local food = local jobs, also makes use of redundant urban buildings.
- Takes the myth out of growing ( you do not need muddy boots)
- Growing in a clean room and growing your own plants you are therefore growing better and healthier produce.
