Fertilizer

Each greenhouse is provided with fertilizer injection into the RO supply water for hydroponic strength 'fertigation' water. We have several standard fertilizer formulations that we use and we can custom mix fertilizers based on project needs. The source water is reverse osmosis treated well water and fertilizer injection is accomplished with MixRite injectors. Inquire with the greenhouse manager for specific fertilizer formula assigments by greenhouse.
