For Commercial Soft Fruit & CEA Growers

Open top bags give each plant its own isolated root zone — the standard format for commercial strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry production in elevated gutter systems across the Netherlands, UK, and North America.

Plant Isolation

Contained Root Zone Per Plant

Each bag is an independent growing unit. Root zone disease — Phytophthora, Pythium — stays contained per plant rather than spreading along a shared slab. Critical for soft fruit where one infected plant can compromise an entire row.

Fertigation Ready

Low EC, Clean Slate for Nutrients

EC <0.5 mS/cm. Water washed, sun dried, zero chemical additives. Soft fruit crops — particularly strawberry — are sensitive to salt stress. Our bags give you full control of the nutrient environment from day one of planting.

Drainage & Aeration

Air-Pruning & Fast Drain

Pre-punched drainage holes and a coir pith/chip blend with 25–35% AFP. Roots air-prune naturally at the bag walls, promoting dense fibrous root systems. Excess water drains rapidly — no waterlogging between irrigation shots.

Multi-Season Durability

3–5 Seasons UV Protection

UV-stabilized white/black co-extruded LDPE bags rated for 3–5 seasons of outdoor or glasshouse use. For perennial soft fruit crops run over multiple seasons, this eliminates annual bag replacement and reduces per-crop substrate cost.
