Practical findings
- Plants perform far better on the two different Plug Mix options with perlite and GreenFibre® compared to local substrates based on bark and coir
- Plug Mix + GreenFibre® (9U5) achieves best performance
- Normal feeding regime led to strong spinach plants
- The use of perlite and GreenFibre® offers strong benefits in terms of drainage and aeration of roots, especially in areas with heavy rainfall
