I love the idea of lime added to soiless medium

[@sarathai2876]

Wow what a great video. I've always wondered how growers could plant so many flowers 🌺 too bad you don't have videos of following the plant all the way through till the point where it is sold.

[@nishipishi]

Beautiful

Very efficient process. Well told. But how about coconut coir... Turns out peat moss is actually unsustainable over time...

[@bobsmkt]

Coconut coir is a much less sustainable option due to processing methods that produce water pollution and shipping distances that would result in higher transportation fuel consumption. Our peat supplier uses sustainable methods and reclaims / restores harvested areas. The amount of peat moss harvested from Canadian peatlands every year is nearly 60 times less than the total annual accumulation of new peat moss. Less than 0.03% of Canadian peatlands have been harvested. Check out CSPMA (Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss Association) for more information.

@@bobsmkt Thx for the info...

[@jaysonyates8013]

Who builds the equipment

[@bobsmkt]

We have a number of suppliers. The robots are made by TTA, a Dutch company, and our greenhouse control systems are from a company called Argus to name a few.

Please make this video over without a mask

[@buckd2958]

You lost me with the mask in the greenhouse wtf 🤦🏼

[@MarkJackson-mq2oe]

That's a cool mask that you're wearing outside, save some women for the rest of us.

[@ApiaryManager]

You're STILL using Peat????? That's VERY environmentally unfriendly of you! We don't use that in Europe anymore (not since the 80's).

[@bobsmkt]

Peat is still the most used growing media in Europe. Alternatives, like coconut coir have a much greater negative impact on the environment due to water pollution and fuel used to transport it. We use Canadian peat which is highly regulated. In Canada, there is an abundance of peatlands and producers follow "wise use" guidelines for the harvesting and preservation of peat bogs.
