In this four-part series, we will look at the ideal location, structures and environment needed to grow vegetables and herbs in a greenhouse production facility. In this first part, we will discuss the first step: finding the ideal location to start a greenhouse production facility.

Sanitation is a key to restricting plant pathogen introduction and spread. In this first of a three part series on water sanitation, we will discuss the importance of knowing the biology of root rot pathogens.

To limit the upward climb of your growing medium's pH, acid may need to be injected into your water to reduce excess alkalinity.

Formulating an organic growing medium for starting vegetable and herb seeds can be a challenge, depending on what a grower is looking for.

In this article, we are going to discuss how the substrate structure and particle sizes affect the air porosity in the substrate.

Nicknamed “mums”, chrysanthemums are one of fall’s quintessential flowers. Chrysanthemums are available in a wide variety of colors, shapes and sizes.

The pH of a growing medium increases or decreases depending on the fertilizer used, the crop grown, and the water alkalinity.

It is best to use a growing medium that offers the ideal air porosity for your watering technique as well as the requirements of the crop.

Sometimes it is thought to be a waste of money to test both the growing medium and plant tissue, but both tests provide different information.
