NutriGro Blueberry Easy Planter Details

“ONE BAG. ONE SYSTEM. READY TO GROW.”

Blueberry Easy Planter

Developed Around Blueberry Root-Zone Requirements

Blueberries grown in containers require careful management of the balance between water-holding capacity, drainage and air-filled porosity.

The Easy Planter can be packed with Nutrigro’s professional coco coir substrates formulated specifically for blueberry production, allowing the physical characteristics of the growing medium to be selected according to the requirements of the crop and production system.

Different combinations of coco peat, coir fibre and husk chip fractions can be used to achieve the required balance between moisture retention, drainage and aeration.

This creates an integrated system in which the container, substrate volume and substrate structure work together rather than being selected independently.

Customised to Your Production System

Blueberry production systems vary according to cultivar, climate, irrigation strategy, water quality and grower preference. For this reason, the Easy Planter does not need to be a one-size-fits-all product.

The system can be configured according to project requirements, including:

  • Growing volume and bag dimensions
  • ⁠Woven bag specification
  • ⁠Black or grey bag options
  • Coco coir substrate formulation
  • ⁠Coco peat, fibre and husk-chip ratios
  • Different grades of substrate options
  • ⁠Drainage-hole quantity and positioning
  • Moisture-holding and air-porosity requirements
  • Personalised branding options on woven bag
  • Project-specific packing and pallet configurations

Key Benefits

Pre-Packed Growing Solution

The professional coco substrate is supplied compressed directly inside the final woven growing bag.

Reduced Labour & Handling

Eliminates many of the handling and manual filling processes associated with separately supplied substrate and containers. Fewer transfers of substrate between packaging, mixing areas and final containers can simplify farm operations and help reduce unnecessary contamination and material loss.

Consistent Growing Volume

Pre-packed units help provide greater consistency in the amount of substrate supplied to each plant.

Purpose-Formulated Coco Substrate

Substrate composition can be selected according to blueberry crop requirements and the grower’s irrigation strategy.

Excellent Drainage & Aeration

Woven construction and purpose-positioned drainage holes assist with managing excess irrigation water and root-zone aeration.

Customisable System

Bag size, substrate composition, drainage-hole configuration and final growing volume can be adapted to individual project requirements.

Efficient Transport

The substrate is transported in compressed form, substantially reducing its volume compared with transporting fully expanded growing media.

Faster Installation

Bags can be positioned in the production area, hydrated and prepared for planting with fewer establishment steps.

Greater Consistency Across Large Developments

When establishing tens or hundreds of thousands of plants, small differences in filling volume and substrate composition can become significant.

By combining the measured compressed substrate and final growing container into a single manufactured unit, the Easy Planter provides a more standardised starting point across the production area.

It also reduces the handling associated with manually breaking apart and repacking compressed substrate blocks – a process that can introduce variation and increase labour requirements during establishment.

Engineered Drainage

Effective drainage is fundamental to containerised blueberry production.

The Easy Planter incorporates pre-punched drainage holes to allow excess irrigation water to move efficiently out of the growing container.

The drainage configuration can be adapted according to the bag dimensions, substrate formulation, irrigation strategy and individual project requirements, helping growers achieve the appropriate balance between drainage and moisture availability within the root zone.

The woven bag construction further supports a well-aerated container environment.

Designed for Efficient Farm Logistics

Transporting expanded substrate is inefficient because a large proportion of the transported volume is air.

The Blueberry Easy Planter addresses this by transporting the growing medium in its compressed state inside the final container.

This compact format allows large quantities of planting units to be palletised for transport and storage before expansion takes place on the farm.

For large commercial developments, this can provide meaningful efficiencies in shipping, storage, handling and field deployment.

Less handling. Less filling. Greater consistency. One complete growing system.

Blueberry & Berry Production

NutriPack Agri Woven Ground Cover is particularly well suited to blueberry and other substrate-grown berry production systems, where plants are grown in bags, pots or containers rather than directly in the soil.

Installed beneath the growing containers, the weed mat creates a clean, stable and professional production surface while suppressing weeds between and around the bags.

Its permeable woven structure allows excess irrigation water and rainfall to drain through the ground cover, helping reduce standing water around the containers. At the same time, the durable surface makes routine crop management, harvesting and movement through the production area easier and cleaner.

For large-scale berry developments, ground cover can also assist with consistent positioning and alignment of growing bags, particularly when fabrics incorporating grid or guidelines are used.

Trees & Landscaping

At the larger end of the range, NutriPack Agri Woven Planter Bags are available in capacities of up to 2,500 litres, providing a practical growing solution for large shrubs, trees and substantial landscaping specimens.

The broad size range allows growers and landscapers to select a growing volume appropriate to the plant rather than being restricted to conventional rigid container sizes.

Commercial Fruit & Berry Production

NutriPack Agri Woven Planter Bags are particularly well suited to commercial berry and fruit production systems where crops are grown in containers using professional substrates.

Container production allows growers to select and manage a specific growing medium independently of the native soil, while the planter bag provides the structure, drainage and aeration required to support the production system.

The combination of woven fabric and customisable drainage holes allows the bag specification to be matched more closely to the grower’s substrate, irrigation strategy and crop requirements.

This makes the bags particularly suitable for crops such as blueberries and other substrate-grown berry crops, as well as a variety of other high-value commercial fruit crops.
