In recent years, Welby Gardens has also established
an aggressive rooting program primarily focused in their
West Facility which is their second location.
Welby Gardens currently has about twenty-two acres of
production in three facilities plus three retail garden
centers. This project consisted of retrofitting old
greenhouses to propagation. Using existing steam boilers,
TrueLeaf supplied the overall design and engineering
as well as tube heat exchangers to convert steam to
hot water as the heat source for TrueLeaf’s Duofin
heatpipe under the benches.

system can make your life easier and add money to your
company’s bottom line.

When asked about his satisfaction with the amount of
heat and how even it was, Jim’s response: “Awesome.
Very even heating everywhere on the bench.” Jim
had some definite opinions regarding the value of good
heat. “I can get more turns out of some crops
in the twelve week season and that easily pays for the
extra heat.”
“When I have a root, I’m in control and
can manage the plant. Without a root all of the external
factors of the environment are in control. So the sooner
I can get a root, the better control I have and can
get a higher quality plant faster.”
