Cavan growers are adopting the staging tactic in their battle to grow more competitively than anyone else in the land. The object of staging is to get as much compost into the tunnels as is possible using a combination of bags and blocks. Some growers are getting as much as 30 tonnes of compost into the one house.
This weapon in the Cavan growers' armoury was first adopted by Danny Malanaphy in Swanlinbar. Danny you'll remember hosted a crowd of continental visitors last May, all eager to see how he was doing things. Thus far the Cavan cabal have been enjoying fine results employing the Sylvan 737 strain for their staging exploits.
Danny's brother-in-law is the man who constructs the staging for him – it's always good to know your supplier well! Anyone interested in this maximising tactic can contact Corby Fabrications : ROI 049 433 30 04.
