Gro Pacific and Daltons visit Melbourne
I was lucky enough to go to Melbourne with Daltons and nursery men from around NZ, I have to say what a great bunch to go away with. The main purpose was to visit Garden City Plastics who will supply exclusively to Daltons pots for the New Zealand market.
During our visit to GSP it was a real eye opener to see the robotic machines producing pots at an incredible pace and still able to maintain a high quality. I must admit though during our nursery visits I got very excited when I heard how so many nurseries there are using coir in their potting mixes. Water conservation and recycling are imperative in Australia, the use of coir in there mixes gives them a huge saving in water usage.
