<\/a>Dry XD has excellent free draining properties and high air-filled porosity, and it\u2019s ideal for crops such as tomatoes, which prefer a dryer growing environment.<\/p>\n

One Southport based salad company has seen excellent results on a tomato crop. Flavour Fresh production manager, Andy Roe, has seen excellent results with XD, which delivers a better yielding, higher quality and more flavoursome product.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started the 5,000m2 trial in December 2016, which was a real test, because it\u2019s notoriously a difficult time for establishment and growth, due to short daylight hours. But the tomatoes thrived,\u201d says Andy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a substrate is too wet, the tomatoes will have a poorer flavour, reduced shelf life, quality issues and ultimately a lower yield. However, with the right root environment, all of these aspects are greatly improved, and the eating experience is far superior to a crop that has sat in wet substrate,\u201d explains Andy. <\/p>\n

As with many of Botanicoir\u2019s products, the Dry XD comes in a dehydrated block, in a polythene growbag, making it light and easy to transport. When water is added, the block expands from 20 mm to 80mm deep in a matter of hours.<\/p>\n
