Inside Lume Co.'s monochrome, industrial greenhouse, we design for sustainability. Explore season-by-season tips to optimize herb yields with minimal waste.
Prepare your herb beds, optimize light intake, and balance humidity for robust seedlings.
Focus: oregano, thyme, basil. Start seedlings under translucent covers to extend the growing window. Maintain floor-level drainage and monitor soil EC for steady growth.
Maximize under-canopy airflow, maintain soil moisture with drip cycles, and prune for compact growth.
Focus: basil, chives, cilantro. Use shade cloth during peak heat and compost responsibly to sustain soil vitality without synthetic inputs.
Prepare for dormancy with disease-aware sanitation and crop rotation strategies.
Focus: mint, rosemary, sage. Transition to cooler nights, adjust irrigation to reduce leaf burn, and harvest before frost events.
Maintain warmth and reduce energy usage with passive methods and efficient insulation.
Focus: parsley, thyme, dill. Use thermal mass and venting to stabilize microclimates while conserving resources.
Step-by-step, practical recommendations for sustainable herb cultivation in an industrial greenhouse.
Seed starting under controlled light. Calibrate irrigation to avoid overwatering.
Transplant hardy seedlings to protected beds.
Maintain airflow; prune to promote compact growth.
Curated herb varieties suited to a monochrome, industrial greenhouse with sustainability at heart.
Compact, aromatic variety ideal for controlled environments.
Principles: uniform spacing, consistent moisture, prune to encourage bushy growth.
Low-maintenance perennial with strong resilience.
Principles: drought-tolerant, prefers well-drained soil; harvest leaves before flowering for best flavor.
Fragrant, hardy, ideal for year-round production.
Principles: prune to maintain low, sturdy plants; avoid overwatering in cooler months.
