- Soil is tested to check the nutrient levels and PH so that appropriate corrective measures can be taken if necessary; this ensures that the plants grow in a conducive environment and receive all required nutrients that are necessary for robust growth.

- Greenhouses are broadly classified into two depending on the material used to build the framework i.e. wooden and steel greenhouses. Steel frameworks are durable, portable, and resistant to weather factors and damage by termites; they are also easy and quick to install and repair. We therefore highly recommend steel greenhouses over wooden greenhouses. The framework is covered by UV polythene and netting. The cladding remains the same for both wooden and metallic greenhouses.
- Yes. We repair both wooden and steel greenhouses. Greenhouses could be damaged by wind, human action or by natural wear and tear of the cladding (polythene and ventilation net) and wood in case of wooden greenhouses. It is advisable to change the greenhouse polythene every three to five years to maintain maximum efficiency. We also repair and maintain irrigation systems.
