Berries are fast becoming the number one sellers in the fresh fruit section of supermarkets. New technologies have been introduced to increase the level of sophistication and improve the quality, quantity and consistency of the supply of berries productions. Berry growers all over the world are looking at all sophisticated, advance growing techniques and options such as a soilless container growing medium to increase the production of the “blue super-fruits.”

Blueberries are fibrous-rooted shrubs that requires acidic soil for better and stronger growth. Traditionally Sulphur has had to be added in the soil to increase the acidity. This takes a tremendous amount of time and labor and it also ruins land. In recent years High Tunnels and Greenhouses have become more popular to growers as they start sooner and extend the growing season, or can produce year-round supply in fully closed greenhouses.
