GONE!!!
A busy week for us at the National Precision Growing Centre as we pull out our old Tomato crop and undertake a quick turn around in order to get ready to plant up the new crop next week.
The task was certainly an 'all hands on deck' approach with staff members and students all pitching in for probably the most unglamorous of tasks that we undertake. With the crop and all the old Grodan slabs now out, the work will continue across the weekend with the washing of the glass, growing gutters, and the irrigation system. This will be followed by a disinfectant spray to remove any pathogens and pests that may be remaining from the old crop.
Our new planting will be quite unique. We are proud to announce that we are now working in partnership with De Ruiter seeds to establish a 'Living Proof' centre that will showcase many of the De Ruiter Tomato varieties. We'll keep you informed on this exciting development in the next few weeks.
