Blueberry substrates
Our specialists
Blueberry cultivation is expanding rapidly throughout the world. Blueberries are in great demand, and our substrates for this crop are now being delivered to every continent on earth.
We are always looking for new ways of making this crop even more productive so that you can satisfy the increasing demand for blueberries. To achieve this, we are conducting a lot of research, both in the lab at research institutes and in the field with growers on different continents. This research has produced specific substrates with which blueberries have been grown in the same container filled with the same substrate for eight consecutive years: the Legro Blauwe Bes CP Optima range. These substrates are made of specially selected raw materials. These substrates are made of specially selected raw materials. Their air-permeable structure and nonstop proper drainage ensure a highly efficient, finely branched root system that will keep the plant in good condition for many years to come. Our blueberry substrates are RHP and OMRI certified. Thousands of hectares of northern and southern highbush varieties have been planted on our blueberry substrates across the globe – in South Africa, Chile, Mexico, Peru, the US, Europe, and stretching eastwards to China and Australia. Are you using our substrates yet?

BIG BALES
Packing products in big bales is an efficient solution. Not only are big bales practical for use at your location but they are also an efficient way of loading a lorry or container. The substrate is first compacted and then wrapped in film to make a big bale. Depending on the kind of product, a big bale can contain up to 6 m3 of substrate. A container for European transport can hold 26 big bales, and an intercontinental container can hold 22. In this video our team member Franc explains the best way to open a big bale. Could big bales be right for you? Call us to find out.
BIG BAGS
Big bags have an advantage: the substrate is not compressed, so its structure and the other properties of its raw materials are retained. . We supply big bags in two sizes: 1 m3 and 2 m3. At your request, we will cover them for storage purposes and to protect them from wind and rain during transport. If you need more information, please don’t hesitate to call us.
GROWBAGS
For certain crops such as strawberries on tabletop frames, dianthus, roses, etc., we supply practical growbags. These are bags of substrate available in a range of lengths and perforated with planting holes according to your specifications. We also supply growpots containing ready-to-use bags for transplanting cucumber plants, etc. We will also create a specific substrate based on your preferences. After all, this is our speciality. If you need any more information about growbags, please contact one of our strawberry experts. They can answer all your questions and will help you decide whether growbags would make your job easier.
Mini bales
If a big bale is too big for your situation, the mini bale could be just right. Like its larger counterpart, its dimensions are designed for efficient loading in lorries and containers. For mini bales, a substrate is compacted into volumes of 100, 150 or 200 litres. Before use, you will have to add the necessary air to the blend yourself.
