Our strawberry grow bags, which contain our specifically developed and buffered Precision Plus grade, are made with the plant, and the grower, in mind. We wash and buffer our coir to a very high standard, so that when the young strawberry plants are planted in the grow bag, they are in the best environment to promote growth. The Precision Plus Ultra mix that we use for our strawberry grow bags has been developed with 3 specifically chose particle sizes to give an open structure and more aeration. This structure means that the opportunity for re-use is maximised, and it enables growers to steer the crop by controlling the moisture level in the bag. It is also very quick to hydrate.

If growers prefer growing in troughs rather than grow bags, we can provide naked slabs of coir to simply place in the trough and rehydrate. We use the same Precision Plus strawberry mix and strict quality controls as with the grow bags, but simply do not put the coir in a bag. This gives a more flexible method of growing, meaning that numbers of plants per meter can be changed year on year, and the troughs can be moved around without disturbing the rooting of the plant. The Precision Plus mix that we use for our naked strawberry slab has a graded particle size and optimum buffering level, which are ideal for strawberry plants, promoting healthy roots, uniform plants growth and optimised water retention and drainage.

For soft fruit growers who have existing systems in place with regards to container growing, or for those looking to move to the rigid plastic containers, we offer a range of coir disks and blocks to fit these pots.

Our Open Top Containers (OTCs) are popular with soft fruit growers as a cost effective and flexible way to grow as they can be simply laid out and hydrated, avoiding having to deal with bulk coir and helping to keep labour costs down.
