Strawberry Hydroponics System Container Farm A Shipping Container Strawberry Farm refers to a type of innovative and compact agricultural setup where strawberries are grown inside repurposed shipping containers. Through the precise control of humidity, temperature, CO2 and light in the container strawberry field, the standardization, intelligence and industrialization of strawberry production have been realized. #GreenhouseSolutions #SustainableGrowing #IndoorGardening #Hydroponics #VerticalFarming #ClimateControlled https://buff.ly/3QMy7fF

A great article with factual evidence in favor of Peat use in Horticulture. Not that as an industry, we should not be researching and refining ways to help our customers be more efficient in their growing processes, sustainable where it makes sense, and profitable (yes profitable is very important too).

#Depuration, also known as purging, is a pre-harvest procedure that removes earthy, musty off-flavour from #RAS-produced species. To begin, market-size #fish are transferred from RAS into #flowthrough or partial reuse systems where water containing negligible off-flavour is exchanged while withholding feed.

During one of the hottest summers on record in the #UK, a dedicated strawberry grower has managed to maintain operations, thanks to innovative greenhouse equipment. This grower partnered with J. Huete Greenhouses in 2021 to construct a greenhouse designed for year-round strawberry cultivation, shielding the crop from both winter cold and, unexpectedly, extreme summer heat. The centerpiece of this greenhouse is the double-skin inflated plastic, a cutting-edge feature known for its exceptional energy efficiency. This technology, combined with shading screens and hydroponic systems, maintains a stable internal temperature. While initially designed to retain heat during winter, it proved invaluable this summer by preventing overheating. Temperatures inside the greenhouse were more than 6°C cooler than outside, enabling continued strawberry production while neighboring growers faced significant crop losses due to the heatwave. The success story underscores the effectiveness of our integrated approach at J. Huete Greenhouses. Our solutions leverage a combination of features like double plastic coating, energy-saving screens, and advanced cooling technologies. This holistic approach is essential for crop protection, particularly in regions experiencing extreme heat. Sadly, due to the climatic change, nowadays there are more and more regions with this problem. This achievement fills us with pride and emphasizes the tangible benefits of our innovative research and technology implementation for our clients. At J. Huete Greenhouses, we’re committed to advancing agriculture through cutting-edge solutions that drive productivity and economic success.

Before winter settles in, we face a critical window of opportunity to combat woody invasive species like autumn olive, buckthorn, callery pear, Norway maple, black locust and honeysuckle. The urgency of this task cannot be overstated - these invaders are rapidly altering our ecosystems, outcompeting native plants, and degrading the health of our forests, prairies, wetlands, and backyards. Winter offers us a strategic advantage: with leaves shed, these invasive plants are easier to identify and remove, but their absence, and the frozen ground, also minimizes damage to surrounding native vegetation. Moreover, winter removal significantly reduces the risk of regrowth, giving us a head start in the race against reinvasion. 20% Discount on Winter Brush Removal Services! Natural Community Services (NCS) is offering a 20% discount on all woody invasive species removal services to support your critical conservation efforts through the winter months. Our professional team employs science-backed techniques to manage these plants effectively and set the stage for successful revegetation. Recent research has revealed game-changing strategies for long-term invasive plant management: -Immediate revegetation post-removal is crucial for preventing reinvasion. -Covering large stumps with biodegradable weed mat - similar to Buckthorn -Baggie, but biodegradable! https://lnkd.in/giR6ucbh -Native grasses, especially wild rye, can quickly establish and suppress buckthorn regrowth. Buckthorn seeds survive in the soil for only 1-2 years, potentially reducing long-term maintenance needs.in concert with native grass-based revegetation. Follow-up management is essential for addressing resprouting and new seedlings, but can use cutting, and eventually burning, instead of chemical-only treatments. Recutting frequently facilitates deer and other foragers to feed on softer-stemmed buckthorn resprouts, often repeatedly until roots are starved - have us come back again and again for a non-chemical approach. In shadier areas, NCS recommends carefully selected, shelter-guarded native trees and shrubs to provide effective long-term resistance. By acting now, we can leverage these insights to remove invasives and create resilient, diverse ecosystems that naturally resist future invasions. This proactive approach can significantly reduce long-term management costs and environmental impact. Let's seize this winter window to protect and enhance your land and habitats. Every acre we treat now invests in a healthier, more resilient future for our natural areas.
