Environmentally friendly cultivation

Careful control of irrigation and fertilisation contributes to tasty tomatoes. The company collects all drainage water, which, after passing through a biological purification filter, is reused. In the middle tank, they use 100 cm of pimpstone, which functions effectively as a biofilter. Water circulates 24/7 every day. This way, they save water and prevent plant nutrients from being released into the environment.
