Department 4: Greenhouse Clearing

The process of clearing the greenhouse starts with removing all plants. Typically, one person works on a cart, precisely cutting the strings that support the plants, while another collects the plants from the ground and places them on plastic sheets or mats.

Once this phase is completed, cleaning tasks follow, including vacuuming, sweeping and cleaning hoses and gutters. An essential part of the process is also collecting used mats (called “pampers”).

After all plants are removed, the greenhouse is prepared for a new cultivation cycle. This includes laying clean plastic sheets on the ground, arranging mats and installing water supply hoses. During this phase, mats are cut to enable proper irrigation for the new seedlings.

Tasks in this department include:

• Cutting pepper plants
• Cutting plant support strings
• Placing plants on plastic sheets
• Sweeping or vacuuming the greenhouse
• Cleaning pipes, hoses and gutters
• Collecting used mats and laying new ones
• Inserting and removing hoses from mats
• Cutting and draining mats
• Planting new pepper seedlings

Thanks to these thorough preparations, the greenhouse is ready for a new, efficient cultivation cycle.
