Grower Sees Benefits of Using STOCKOSORB® from Production to End Consumer

Bob’s Market and Greenhouses uses STOCKOSORB® hydrogel to optimize plant performance from greenhouse to consumer. By David Kuack Bob’s Market and Greenhouses in Mason, W.V., has been incorporating a water-absorbing hydrogel into its growing mixes since 1995. When the company first started adding a hydrogel the growing mixes were produced using stationary concrete mixing drums. “We had a rudimentary method of making our soil-less growing mixes,” said vice president Scott Barnitz, whose responsibilities include the company’s retail operations and its wholesale finished production. “We ran the concrete mixers with hydraulic electric motors. We were able to fully expand the hydrogel and incorporate it into the mixers. We were quickly impressed with the beneficial water-releasing qualities of the hydrogel.” Barnitz said when his company began working with Bouldin & Lawson in 2012 to design and engineer an inline soil system it was imperative that expanded STOCKOSORB® hydrogel could continue to be […]

Drought Concerns Continue Despite Record Rain

Drought has plagued various parts of the United States in recent years. And, it will take a lot of precipitation to cure it. After a six-year drought Californians are suffering — or is it celebrating — record rainfall. The state has gone from five years of drought to the wettest year on record. That has led some to suggest an end to the drought in many parts of California and the Southwest. In fact, in January, the National Weather Service in Reno, Nevada, even tweeted, “Bye bye Drought. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” Despite burgeoning dams and overflowing reservoirs, the celebration may be premature, says Peter Gleick, co-founder and chief scientist of the Pacific Institute, a hydroclimatologist, and a member of the US National Academy of Sciences. “Even in a wet year in California, nature’s bounty of water is no longer enough to satisfy all […]
