The selection of the strawberry grow gutter is a very important part of a large-scale soilless and hydroponic system, because the design of the gutter determines many factors that affect the growth of strawberries. The strawberry grow gutter provides a solid installation base for strawberry substrate, strawberry plant and fruit fixation and production accessories.

We have developed a new planting gutter system for substrate planting, which can be used for elevated strawberry planting and hanging planting system, as well as for elevated strawberry planting systems, which has the following advantages:

Higher strength and less deformation of grow gutter

We use 0.7mm high strength color coated steel sheet to produce the whole planting gutter for substrate by continuous cold-forming technology at the project site. In the real project inside of greenhouse, no deformation occurred. When a steel sheet made of TDC51D (strength of 295 MPa and tensile strength of 376 MPa) was selected,

We use Ansys software to study, we fixed both ends of the planting trough with a span of 4m and applied a surface pressure of 400Kn per meter, the software analysis yielded a maximum of only 10.353.mm per trough type variation.

More scientific and reasonable amount of substrate

We set the opening of the upper part of the grow gutter to 180mm and the depth to 111mm, which can be filled with not less than 15L of dry earth per meter, and the substrate requirement per unit of strawberry is only 2L.

Bulk substrate and potted planting are compatiable

It is possible to plant with coconut coir or special planting pots, and the type of planting pots can be long or square pots.

In some projects, the water filter is installed inside the grow gutter, and the bulk substrate is poured directly into the planting through to grow strawberry crops. We also recommend the use of professional containers for more precise planting control, which can increase the yield per unit of strawberry planting and provide more efficient water and fertilizer control.

The innovation will not stop, we are collecting more feedback from growers and we will continue to develop more growing systems to meet the requirements of different crops in different regions.
