“When we expanded our greenhouse at Grow HQ, we wanted benching that was practical, strong and easy to install. Prime Hort’s propagation tables ticked all the boxes. The modular design made installation straightforward, and once they’re in place they’re solid, level and well suited to the demands of a busy commercial nursery. The open mesh tops provide excellent drainage and airflow, making them ideal for propagation and growing on plants in our greenhouse.
At Grow HQ we’re a wholesale native plant nursery based in Pukekohe, supplying landscapers, contractors, councils and restoration projects throughout Auckland, Waikato and the Bay of Plenty. We focus on producing quality plants, consistent grades and reliable supply, with contract growing available for larger projects. Thanks to Prime Hort for helping us create a greenhouse setup that’s practical, efficient and built to support large-scale native plant production”.

“Every time I go into a nursery I have instantly got a fair idea of what fertiliser they use, most nurseries in New Zealand have a slightly yellowed look of fertiliser that hasn’t quite gone the distance, some people tell me this is good you have hardened plants... mmm I am not so sure. These nurseries are either selling hungry plants or top dressing to keep them growing ... only problem is if you are top-dressing you are in catch up and you don’t catch up with some plants. If a fertiliser says it is good for 9 months most of us should not have to top dress. If you are having to top dress it is costing you way more than the labour and fertiliser you are putting on let alone the fact that the fertiliser was advertised to last 9 months and it didn’t. We have been using Polyon for over 10 years now and found it to produce consistent, uniform crops with practically no topfeeding required. Polyon releases consistently so you don’t get a fast start / fast finish like some fertilsers.”

“We have recently made the switch to using Polyon as our controlled release fertiliser in our potting mix and have been experiencing more consistent, uniform crops, with longer lasting healthy green foliage.
We grow a large variety of species in a range of all sizes and have found it produces a superior crop that is ready for market a lot quicker than what we had previously had. With less top dressing or no top dressing at all.
Would be more than happy to recommend it to a fellow grower for a successful crop for this Spring.”
