A massive 10,012m2 cucumber hydroponic growing operation in Port Albert. The 3 growing greenhouses some 24,000 short green cucumbers in various stages of growth together with the propagation of the new seedlings to be transplanted. The cucumbers are planted in untreated sawdust and fed hydroponically. With the Auckland market being reasonably close to the growing operation and the knowledge that the Port Albert area sees very little in the way of frosts. This operation has all the bells and whistles with an efficient waste oil/diesel heating and co2 enrichment system and a carbon deodorizer and two UV sterilizers to destroy any pathogens, algae etc that may be in the water. http://rwsnellsbeach.co.nz/23609 Distributed by
