In addition to our field production, we will use the steamer to <br />pasteurize potting soil media that has already been used before to reduce annual costs of bringing in new <br />potting soil. It is a simple design that utilizes a tarp and a long hose that is permeable for the steam to <br />escape. The steam will pasteurize the top 3 inches of the soil thus killing weed seeds and disease in the soil. <br />From there the ground will be ready to plant or seed right into. We grow year round and we face tough <br />disease and weed pressure throughout the year but especially during the winter. The soil pasteurization is <br />particularly effective against sclerotinia which is our number one issue during the winter and early spring <br />months. We have talked with local and regional growers about the effectiveness of soil steaming and all <br />have responded with positive remarks and strong endorsements for the soil steaming process and its ability <br />to reduce weed and disease pressure. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Docusign Envelope ID: CDD42202-588D-482B-97B9-559AB221206E
