thing can go fast . The end of 2019 , it was decided and exactly one year later , the first round of Pina Colada was harvested . Dutch grower Fred van Paassen is very happy : " The heavy stem turn and dark-green leafage till the end . There ’s no well . " The end of last year , our Dutch colleagues of BPnieuws.nl visited the growers and took a look inside his new and mellow - tech greenhouse .
In week 36 of 2020 , father and son Van Paassen took the new greenhouse in Wervershoof , in the far due north of the Province of North Holland , into utilization . seem for enlargement they got into conversation with one of the neighbors , love apple grower Dekker Glascultures , who mature tomatoes under 10 hectares of glass on a site that , until lately , dwell of two glasshouse . Van Paassen bought one of the two blocks , demolished it and built a brand novel greenhouse . At the front , however , the whole still look like one company . The b has been temporarily split in two and in terms of water supplying , geothermic energy and CHP both growers make usage of a shared base .
Complicated ? " No , " say Fred van Paassen . " Of course we have made understanding , but the combining is favorable . We have a connexion to the local geothermal internet and we apportion the CHP . Dekker will continue to originate tomatoes on his farm without light . We both already have warmth , we do n’t postulate the CHP for that . However , we can use the electrical energy for the lamp , while Dekker benefits from the CO2 . A classic win - winnings . "
In the fresh greenhouse we grow accord to the principle of Next Generation Growing . Outside strain is brought in by means of air hosepipe , an existing technique to keep the windows fold as much as possible , but which you could only find at some of the most in advance growers . In addition , LED light has been instal and advanced equipment and material are being used .
The steam pipe underneath the path
A modern chrysanthemum glasshouse is not complete without a prime tunnel . It literally run like an aorta through the society and is the pivot on which the intact internal logistics revolves . In the newfangled nursery it was built byVan Holstein Betonwerken , a task that the troupe does about once a year , on average , Ron van Holstein sound out . " Challenging about this undertaking was that the grower also wanted the steam tube underground . You used to see that more often , but in recent years it has become less vernacular . As a result , the construction is a lot wider than usual , about four decimeter . In addition , the tunnel had to terminate up in an be barn , which meant that it had to be fear out " .
20 years ago , Fred moved from the Westland to the far north of the Province of North Holland . Ten year ago the greenhouse in Wervershoof became too small for him and together with his boy Jan he begin a new ship’s company at Veenakkers 18 in Andijk . The erstwhile glasshouse was sold to Gitzels Plantenkwekerij , which still use it today . Now , 10 years afterward , it was sentence for enlargement and the greenhouse of Dekker was purchased , ' our third step in this domain ' . This is practically around the recession , on the Nieuwe Dijk in Wervershoof .
