And he joins us today to talk about the innovations happening in soil steaming technology.
Now, when you're listening to this, y you're probably wondering and asking yourself, Harry
What does soil have to do with growing indoors?
Well, it's interesting and fascinating how the connection was made.
We start off by Hans sharing his journey from growing up on a farm in Norway to developing a solution that was addressing critical changes in substrate management.
So that's where it came into play here and why I thought it made sense for this audience.
It's fascinating because we dive into the the world of soil steaming.
This method effectively eliminates harmful pathogens and weeds while preserving beneficial organisms in the soil.
And so we started talking about how they made their way to controlled environment agriculture.
And it was a real eye-opening experience for him.
And we get into a little bit of a deep dive with the benefits of it for CEA and indoor farming.
Very informational.
Here are five takeaways that I want you to listen out for.
One, consider steaming substrate before first use to eliminate pathogens and ensure a clean growing medium, even for new materials.
Two, explore recycling used substrate through steaming to reduce costs and improve sustainability.
As tests have shown, recycled substrate can perform as well as new.
Three, look into containerized steaming solutions for more precise control and easier implementation, especially for indoor farmers.
Operations.
Four, stay informed about evolving regulations on treatments.
What we're seeing is that steam treatment may become a more viable alternative as chemical options become more restricted.
