2. What is important for growers?
High Yields
High Quality produce
Clean growing area
Minimal irrigation (water
saving)
Minimal use of fertilizers
(chemical & organic)
Minimal use of
pesticides

4. The Anglebase method:
The Anglebase system, developed over the last
10 years, is based on extensive experience with
detached substrate production in small
containers.
It is a system for growing vegetables in a clean
white environment, utilizing the suns rays and
their reflection from the white surfaces.

5. The Anglebase method is also:
Increases the plants activity
Protects against pests such as flying insects
that are dazzled by the radiation and keep away
from the growing area
Prevents the irrigation water in the drip system
from heating. Hot water harms the roots
Keeps the greenhouse area clean

A greenhouse covered with
strong plastic that filters UV
radiation
Ventilation outlets with insect
proof netting (50 mesh) for
random wind born insects
Canals between the rows for
drainage of excess water
Heavy gauge nylon black on
one side and white on the
other for the greenhouse
floor. The black is face down
to prevent seeds growing. the white is face up to reflect
the suns rays.

8. The Anglebase container
(Patent Pending)
The 10 liter container has a
sloping inner floor so that
any excess water collects at
the bottom. The horizontal
base is structured with a
honeycomb sculpturing to
enable firm positioning on
the ground.
The container has a vertical
slit in the centre of the
curved wall that terminates
above the container floor.
This is the only outlet.

9. The Anglebase Funnel
(Patent Pending)
The Anglebase funnel has been developed specially
for use with the container.
Water drains into the funnel, and is carried directly to
the root area of the plant where it is needed.

10. Direct access to the root area allows:
Accurate penetration of fertilizer nutrients and
other organic substances as required
Individual treatment for selected plants
Heating or cooling of the substrate close to the
roots
Use of slow dissolving solids without blocking the
system.

The unique properties can be summarized as follows:
• light weight
• Minimal water loss to drainage.
• high container stability.
• Minimal water requirement as a result of minimal water loss.
• Field plants uniformity.
• Ease to use
• Environmental friendly.
• Successful experience in use.
