How to reduce greenhouse costs by saving space
Taking full advantage of an operation’s available space will be key for them to get the most out of the greenhouse price. When growers optimize their layout by balancing growing space and room for workers to maneuver, they can boost their overall productivity.
This is largely done through greenhouse benching, which can often be an afterthought for many growers. In particular, rolling benches offer a relatively low-cost way to optimize growing space. These are generally a better investment than stationary benches when operations are trying to make the most of their greenhouse price.
When optimizing greenhouse price through their structure’s layout, growers will benefit from the advice of a Greenhouse Specialist. HONGYANG’s specialists have expert knowledge and experience of what works and what doesn’t in a greenhouse space. They can help customize benching layouts for an operation’s specific structure so growers will get the best results out of their cost per square foot.

In any growing space, the best layout doesn’t just pertain to benching and shelving. Production can also be influenced by other design choices that growers make with their greenhouse footprint to increase yields.
A germination room can be a relatively inexpensive portion of total greenhouse price, but the impact it can have on output makes it a great option for many operations. Dedicating a small part of their budget to a germination room allows growers to get a significant head start on the growing cycle of their crops.
Operations can utilize HONGYANG‘sand stack their propagation trays vertically. With the right environment, seedlings should develop rapidly, which translates to larger, more frequent harvests for growers. Adding production space vertically can be especially effective in urban areas where growers have limited space and need to be smart with choices that affect greenhouse price.
