If you've hand-watered ornamental hanging baskets in a greenhouse the couple weeks before Mother's Day, you know that it is impossible to give each hanging basket the TLC and water it really needs to thrive.
Some are under-watered. Some are over-watered.
Some are missed completely and go to the dump pile in the days following.
Growing large amounts of ornamental hanging baskets to the quality specs that many retailers demand is a monumental feat in and of itself.
To grow hanging baskets consistently, with increased quality, reduced labor and reduced shrink is what many growers would describe as one of their wildest dreams.
Len Logsdon, Controls Engineer at Control Dekk, LLC has been working hard to help growers realize those wild dreams using OASIS, the automated hanging basket irrigation system that Control Dekk developed and markets to greenhouse growers.
We had Len onto CropTalk to share what refusing to automate your hanging basket production is costing you.
