Ready to go again

All set for the next 12 months.......

We have had a pretty busy week's activity as we pulled out our old crop and prepared for the new crop.

Last weekend there was a hive of activity in the greenhouse as staff members and students worked frantically to meet the time lines we had set.This saw plenty of action in removing all of the debris from the previous crop, and a massive effort in power washing / cleaning and sterilizing the interior of our compartment 2 growing area. Our thanks to all the students who volunteered their time for this task.

Once it was all clean we installed the new Grodan Master growing slabs, and then set about "wetting up" the slabs to a prescribed EC level of 3.5.

The next stage will be planting, with our plants making the long road journey from Trandos Hydroponic Growers in Western Australia in air conditioned comfort.
