Shape of the drains makes it possible to stack the tops, which means a large reduction in packaging and transport/costs. Now it is possible to load about 3500 m2 in a 40″ – container.

EUROPEAN DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED
USGR Ebb and Flo benching system replaces traditional expanded metal with watertight, molded plastic trays. Trays are flooded with a water and fertilizer mix, which plants absorb through holes in the pot bottoms. With the Ebb and Flo benching system, you can:
- Decrease water and fertilizer consumption by as much as 50%. After a designated amount of time, excess water and fertilizer are drained off and can be reused later.
- Increase watering efficiency, reduce labor costs. An entire bench of plants can be watered simultaneously.
- Improve air circulation and drainage. A grid of shallow troughs allows air circulation and drainage under the pots.
- Improve plant health. Plant leaves and greenhouse aisles and walkways stay dry, so overall greenhouse humidity is lowered and the chance of disease is reduced.
Rolling “Floating Aisle” Benches
Designed as a “floating aisle” system, so unproductive aisle space is minimized and growing space is increased by as much as 30% over fixed benches. And they’re engineered with the same built-to-last design principles as our benching. Trays will hold up to 1 gal. per square foot.
