The traditional choice facing tomato growers was whether to grow in expensive climate controlled greenhouses or grow outdoors. The Haygrove Trellis Tunnel now gives growers a much lower cost entry point for growing under protection. The following trial work was undertaken in South Africa by tomato grower, John Williams and is a study that fully costed a Hydroponic Greenhouse, Haygrove Trellis and an outdoor low cost system.
