Dispatches from Europe: Bioponics in St.Bart

GHE is pleased to introduce you to a bioponic (organic hydroponic) tomato production on Saint Barthélémie. Saint Bart is a little island in the Antilles which is famous for its stars and well-heeled tourists from all over the world. I am sharing these photos so you can dream about beautiful plants and sunshine.

Only a small quantity of vegetables is grown there and even less of tomatoes which were always imported. The problems are the lack of arable ground and the cost of water which is only available after desalination. This is why Mr Hervé Meunier, who is concerned about quality and ecology, has chosen to work with GHE technology (drip system using recycled water) and GHE certified organic nutrients “BioSevia”. Since then he has also been creating living décors with our system and also green walls. It’s a beautiful example of “bringing nature and technology together”.

Is there any schedule for the BM (Bioponic Mix) in the BioSevia-Series to be available in Germany? I’d love to use an organic fertilizer from GHE for hydro.

We have had a visit from Noucetta at GHE, and this is what she says:
BM is available from Grow in Berlin.

True, that’s where I found it, but the BM part for hydro was for export only :( Now they don’t even seem to carry it anymore at all: http://www.grow-in-berlin.net/growshop/duenger/general-hydroponics/ghe-bm-bioponic.html
