01 / PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Understand the product and buying logic in one section.

01

Built For Fruiting Crops

The deeper sections take tomato, pepper and strawberry, crops that need a root run measured in litres rather than millimetres.

02

Slab Or Loose Fill

A wrapped slab drops straight in, or the trough is filled loose where a grower mixes their own substrate.

03

Cut To House Length

2.9 m and 5.8 m are stock, and any other figure is cut to the bay so no trough stops short of a post.

04

Feed Stays In Trough

A raised lip keeps irrigation inside the trough, so drainage is collected instead of running onto the floor.

02 / TECHNICAL CONFIGURATION

Keep specifications readable instead of burying them inside a long page.

Vegetable Substrate Trough PVC. For a fruiting crop the trough is a root volume decision: tomato and pepper want more medium per plant than strawberry. This is why the deeper sections in this range sell for those crops.

Where the vegetable substrate trough is used

Greenhouse tomato, pepper and strawberry rows where substrate is run in a trough rather than a bag on the floor.

Installation and System Integration

Set the fall, fill with substrate, then plant at the spacing the variety needs and run one drip line per trough.

Why Choose GNFORTUNE

Running one drip line per trough instead of per plant is what makes the trough cheaper to operate than individual pots on a long row. You can read more about the background of this method on Tomato.
