Understanding fiber growing containers through real-world applications

There are many challenges the organic grower faces on any given day, many stressors which the traditional grower doesn’t often wrestle with when cultivating their crops. While diseases, soil conditions, weeds, watering and governmental regulations are commonalities for all growers across North America, in order for crops to be certified organic, growers must adhere to strict guidelines, daunting paperwork and mandated compliance throughout the growing process. Fiber growing containers provide a sustainable, biodegradable, certified solution for organic growers.

In this webinar, The HC Companies will highlight how their EcoGrow® Organic Growing Containers can be successfully implemented in real-world growing conditions by providing results from actual trials done by actual growers in the horticultural industry. They’ll discuss growing environments, irrigation, retail sales, performance and degradation so you can determine if fiber growing containers are the right solution for your operation.

Lead by HC’s Bryce Anderson, a tenured Territory Sales Manager and fiber specialist for almost a decade, he’s ready to guide you into the world of fiber growing containers, while answering all of your questions. Attendees will have the opportunity to request a FREE Sample Kit of EcoGrow® products at the end of the webinar.
