Tree nursery Coonen

"There are fewer weeds and moss on the pots and it looks natural. BVR stays intact on the pots even during transport".

Rob Coonen is co-owner of Coonen. The company specialises in growing ornamental shrubs for traders, garden centres and tree nurseries. On a site covering four hectares, a wide range of shrubs available in two, three or five litre containers are grown outdoors and in greenhouses and polytunnels. Herbaedeck BVR has been the topping soil of choice for the pots at the Coonen nursery for ten years.

"An important advantage is that BVR ensures the pot drains well and doesn’t stay too wet. Even with a lot of irrigation after or during periods of drought, the pots look great and there is no rot. "There are fewer weeds and moss on the pots and it looks natural.

At Coonen, the pots are covered with Herbaedeck BVR for about seven to eight months, after which the shrubs are sold. Rob Coonen says that Herbaedeck BVR stays intact on the pots even during transport."
