A Horticultural Evolution:
Nurseries and tree farms have been growing trees using traditional methods: in ground or in containers for centuries. With the invention of plastic, the traditional clay pots were replaced with black plastic containers. While the plastic containers were easier to transport and lighter in weight, they also brought about problems of root spiralling and poor root growth. Eventually replanting these trees caused a significant number to die, creating a loss for everyone.
Growinnovate was looking at this problem almost 20 years ago and started testing HDPE woven planter bags as a possible replacement for the traditional plastic pots. Remarkable results were obtained within just a few months, with the main benefit being a far superior root system that eliminated root circling. This was the innovation that fueled the beginning of Growinnovate. Two years later, after perfecting the design of the bags to maximize its many benefits, the GrowinBag ™ was produced.
Helping Change the Way You Grow:
Today, the market is changing. The demand for green cities and urban areas is insatiable, thus trees and plants are being transported around the world in numbers that have never been seen. Water has become a commodity that is more expensive per litre than fuel. In addition to this, consumers are concerned over soil quality and soil health and it seems that the nurseries and tree growers are up against insurmountable odds. Luckily, the foresight of Growinnovate with its planter bags GrowinBag ™ can provide the solution.
Transport of trees is simplified with heavy duty handles, able to be lifted with forklifts or by crane. Handling of the trees is minimized as the trees are grown in the bag and there is no need to uproot or use tree spades that can damage the root system. Trees in the bags can be loaded onto truck beds or shipping containers to reach their final destination without damage, stress, or water loss to the roots.
Growing with GrowinBag™ ensures that the amount of water delivered to each tree is controlled by the nursery and not lost in the ground. In the same way, nutrients can be delivered individually. Contaminants in the ground are kept away from trees and their food by-products. The soil health is controlled by the nursery and is kept clean and free from contaminants in the ground.
Growinnovate remains committed to its customers through expert advice and product development. Of course, the market has capitalized on our findings, and there are other inferior producers of woven planter bags. Nevertheless, GrowinBag™ planter bags — our flagship brand — are recognized around the world for their dependability and manufacturer’s guarantee. The company believes in manufacturing a superior product with personal customer service that includes adapting the design for different environments and individual needs. Growinnovate has played a role in the evolution of the horticultural industry and is most definitely an industry leader in its field.
