Today's Grower - Greenhouse Blog

Pipp Horticulture (a division of Pipp Mobile Storage Systems, Inc.) (“Pipp”), the leading provider of space-saving, multi-level mobile cultivation systems, announced today that it has acquired the GGS Group of Companies (“GGS”). Based in Vineland Station, Ontario, GGS is one of the most recognized names in the Horticulture industry. They have been the leading manufacturer of top-quality greenhouses and turnkey greenhouse growing solutions including traditional rolling benches, heating and ventilation systems, and curtain systems.

Many of us typically dread winter, reportedly up to months before it actually begins.

This year especially, after months of isolation for many and taking advantage of the summer weather with outdoor gatherings, the cold winter months on the way are becoming concerning. Psychologists are beginning to worry about our mental and physical health with the combination of shorter days, colder weather, and ongoing pandemic precautions.

With Winter around the corner, colder weather and shorter days are on their way. It’s a good time to re-post a relevant blog on tips for preparing your greenhouse for winter, focusing on the coming seasonal changes.

From our perspective as greenhouse manufacturers specializing in greenhouse production and management, at GGS, this series of articles has covered most of the key inputs needed for setting up and preparing for greenhouse lettuce and leafy green production. We have a team of very experienced staff and partners that know how to plan and implement the manufacturing, construction, and management necessary for starting up greenhouse growing plans for a facility.

We want to be able to produce a top quality crop of leafy greens economically, quickly, and repeatedly. In Part One of the Lettuce Blog Series, we discussed the importance of Greenhouse Structures and Crop Management to provide the best possible space for growing. Now, let's consider setting up the inputs to create the best possible growing environment in that greenhouse, focusing on optimizing lettuce growth stages.
