Soil improvement for chrysanthemum<br />

cultivation - Bruchem<br />

Delivery of landscape substrates to<br />

Rotterdam<br />

Client:<br />

Janity Flowers B.V.<br />

Implementation period: 2017<br />

Client:<br />

municipality of Rotterdam<br />

Implementation period: 2017-2019<br />

DEN OUDEN GROEP has provided 1000 m3 of Sylvester<br />

tree bark for chrysanthemum nursery Janity Flowers B.V.<br />

Janity Flowers took care of the transport themselves and<br />

used a self-designed car to counteract soil densification as<br />

much as possible. The tree bark was then slightly milled in<br />

the top later. The tree bark is perfectly suited for preventing<br />

compaction and rooting is being stimulated because of<br />

the open structure that is created in the ground.<br />

By first carrying out several trials with different products<br />

in big-bags, ranging from fine to coarse, the joint choice for<br />

Silvester Tree Bark Fraction 10-25 was made.<br />

Janity Flowers B.V. is a year-round chrysanthemum<br />

nursery founded in 1986. In 2005, the nursery moved to<br />

Bruchem, where a completely new 48,000 m² company<br />

was constructed that is still the most modern one in the<br />

Netherlands.<br />

DEN OUDEN GROEP supplies various types of soil<br />

improvers to the municipality of Rotterdam to ensure that<br />

nearly 600,000 trees and other greenery facilities remain<br />

in top shape.<br />

Trees in Rotterdam are often planted in the middle of an<br />

urban area under non-ideal conditions, such as hardening,<br />

on roofs of parking garages, and in roof parks. These trees<br />

have little underground growth space. In order to keep<br />

these trees and greenery in top shape, it is necessary to<br />

fill the tree or plant holes, lawns, and flower boxes with soil<br />

that is composed according to the right specifications. A<br />

good and stable product is very important for the medium<br />

term and the further future of the trees that need to grow in<br />

it. By applying high-quality soil improvers and substrates,<br />

Rotterdam ensures healthier and better quality trees and<br />

plants, and thus a healthier living environment for its<br />

citizens.<br />

This involves over 20,000 tonnes/year of tree sand, tree<br />

soil, tree granules and flower box substrate. All produced<br />

under the RAG-certificate.<br />
