Dentoom's Greenhouses is a greenhouse ahead of it's time. The production area is a very modern and efficient operation.

The greenhouse industry of the future faces three main concerns: energy costs, environmental issues, and labour costs. Dentoom's Greenhouses has made every effort to resolve these matters as efficiently as possible.

Energy Conservation:

• High efficiency natural gas boiler
• Hot water heating system
• Pre-heated irrigation water
• Heat exchanger on chimney to reclaim heat from exhaust
• Energy curtain covers entire greenhouse range when closed (sunset to sunrise) resulting in 50% saving of fuel usage, also provides 50% shade reducing cooling costs
• Rolling benches throughout greenhouse resulting in 84% space efficiency (reduces walkways between growing benches)
• Computerized greenhouse environment system (monitors and controls temperature, humidity and irrigation)

Environmental Protection:

• All rainwater and snow melt is collected in concrete cisterns and ponds
• Large volume of irrigation water is recycled using sub-irrigation benches
• All irrigation water accumulating on the floor below growing benches is collected and stored in collection pond for outside irrigation
• Low volume drip irrigation is used for precise watering control
• Very little water leaves the Dentoom's site
• All plant debris and used soil mix is composted (no plant waste goes into landfill)

Labour Savings

• All overhead heating pipes in greenhouse have a dual use as Mono-rail track
• Each greenhouse bench is accessible by it's own Mono-rail cart with a capacity of 20 bedding plant trays which reduces material handling
• Robotic transplant line reduces hand planting. Plants 1500 to 2000 trays per day
• Manual transplanting line which accommodates up to 18 transplanters centralizing planting operations which reduces labour costs
