Field Production
Paul Howling, the Open Ground Manager
and his team look after approximately 26ha (65acres) of field grown
plants. These are based on a 5 row bed system. Plants are annually planted
by either planting or dibbling machine.
Open-ground orders are either dug
manually or for larger orders by lifting machine. Weed control is an
important part of cultivation and a mixture of tractor/ hand hoeing and
herbicides are employed.
Many of our plants are closely
related to the weeds so selecting herbicides can be difficult.
Land not in cultivation for
herbaceous perennials is planted with an arable crop, enabling the use
of different herbicides to clean the land.
Irrigation is supplied by 3 boreholes
on the nursery and all fields can be irrigated from hydrants in the
headlands.
