We're excited to spotlight Mercedes Medina, our Regional Sales Manager in the Southwest! She's been in the horticulture industry since 2006, starting at Nursery Supplies where she sold injection and thermoformed nursery containers.

Some growers strongly believe in blending their own raw materials, while others wouldn’t dare to let go of their preblends. The good news is, no matter what strategy growers use for their mixes, there’s a HydraFiber? solution readily available. One grower who is successfully incorporating HydraFiber into their ready-to-use mixes, is Michael’s Greenhouses in Cheshire, Connecticut. The company is currently mixing 30% HydraFiber into a preblended mix of 90% peat and 10% perlite using the HydraFiber Expander from AdeptAg. “We use that mix in almost everything we produce, and we’ve been successful,” said Patrick Herzing, general manager at Michael’s Greenhouses. “We’ve had very little issues starting with our own preblend. Our growers were initially apprehensive about making any changes, but they were able to easily make the transition.” Herzing says the decision to initially trial with HydraFiber was driven by two big factors: improved water management for a longer shelf life at the store and security during supply shortages. We couldn't be more proud that HydraFiber is able to help growers achieve results in both areas.
