The 3-Dimensional cone shape of the Air-Pot wall and continuous air-pruning
eliminates root circling.
Reduce growing time on the nursery.
The rapid build-up of new white roots fills the
rootball, resulting in plants being available for sale much more quickly.
Double - at least - the "shelf-life" of
stock.
This is proving a crucial benefit not only to nurseries,
but also to garden centres, where stock sometimes is held for a full
extra season, and also to landscape customers whose planting schedule
is often delayed. As long as the water and nutrient requirement is
taken into account, the root structure in the Air-Pot just keeps getting
better.
Ensure superior performance in extremes of weather.
With continuous air pruning, new root is always
being generated, particularly from the base of the stem. Not only is
the system therefore more efficient in its use of all the available
water and nutrient, it is significantly less vulnerable to extremes
of cold and heat which so badly affect the mass of root at the outer
edge of a traditional container.
Reduce losses dramatically.
Immediate re-establishment after transplant means
that losses are greatly reduced and makes the guarantee of nursery
stock a realistic possibility and a positive selling point.
Simplify production.
Small stock can be planted direct into 30/50/80
litre containers, making several pottings unnecessary. In the US stock
is grown for 4 years in the same container. In Australia, production
time for some species is reduced by nearly half. In the UK, current
trials also indicate a significant reduction.
The Air-Pot is made of recycled HDPE.
