Dutch tomato producer Solyco has been working with Grodan’s new Elite stone wool slab since the start of this crop cycle.

Wijnen Square Crops has been working with Grodan growing media since the mid-1990s and introduced the Supreme slab for its entire blocky pepper crop more than two years ago. Head grower Jeu Rutten explains how the slab supports the company’s generative approach to growing and is a dependable factor throughout the unpredictable crop season.
Belgian tomato grower Kris De Weerdt has been working together with Grodan for two decades.
