Substrate Blueberries
Substrate blueberry project using a 24 ft wide hoop-house tunnel, three-row layout, 32 ft arch, 5-layer greenhouse plastic, black weed mat, substrate pots, and fertigation support.
Project Overview
This substrate blueberry project uses a 24 ft wide hoop-house tunnel with a 32 ft arch and three rows of substrate blueberries. The layout includes 3.2 oz black weed mat, 25-liter substrate pots, and a dedicated fertigation system to support irrigation and nutrient delivery.
The structure is covered with 32 ft wide, 5-layer hoop-house plastic. Project notes reference infrared, anti-dust, and 65% diffusion properties, helping create a cleaner and more controlled growing environment inside the tunnel.
Together, the tunnel, plastic cover, weed mat, substrate containers, and fertigation system create a practical production setup for substrate blueberry growing.

Project Highlights
Crop Protection
The covered tunnel helps reduce exposure to rain, wind, UV, and pests while protecting the crop rows.
Substrate Layout
The 3-row layout with 25-liter substrate pots and black weed mat keeps the production area organized and accessible.
Film Performance
The 5-layer hoop-house plastic includes infrared, anti-dust, and 65% diffusion properties to support light and temperature management.
Fertigation Support
The pump house and fertigation controls support irrigation and nutrient delivery for the substrate blueberry system.
