| | Delivering ground cover and capillary matting solutions | |
| | Find out how Fargro worked with Fleurie Nursery to provide ground cover and capillary matting for their new one-hectare structure in West Sussex. | |
| | Fleurie required a capillary matting that had excellent capillary action with a level of water retention to be fitted in their new one-hectare Vermako structure at Lake Lane Nursery in West Sussex. Added to this, a pre stitched heavy duty ground cover was required to cover the matting and a base layer of polythene.
| |
 | “This is the biggest single investment for Fleurie Nursery in its 36-year history. We are very pleased with the one-hectare Vermako structure and the way all the individual internal components have been installed to produce a high-tech growing structure. We are confident that this facility will produce the highest quality ornamental crops to meet the high expectations of our customers.” - Steve Carter, General Manager.
What made this investment different?
Fargro assisted with the options available regarding specification and custom sizing. The installed groundcover is part of a polythene, lay flat, capillary matting - also supplied by Fargro - sub irrigation solution that will give enhanced uniformity and reduced water use.
