Waiter in the greenhouse? "Unfortunately it's not that simple"

At the one company , or the one glasshouse , working hands are becoming usable , while at the other fellowship there ’s too few , and surplus people are more than welcome . The catering business has a lot of stave to spare since the lockdown , so an enterpriser from The Hague offeredhis staff at cost cost to growers . But it ’s not that sluttish , as a Lycopersicon esculentum and a bell pepper grower shared .

clipping and bindingA waiter who , up until Sunday night , was give out beers and serving solid food , now work in the greenhouse in the crucial process of cutting , binding , harvest and packing ; not so tight , say the growers . " Unfortunately it ’s not as simple-minded as everyone conceive " , says a gong pepper grower who mostly want to ' form steadily with the stave we have now ' .

" That ’s our stance now , also because you do n’t recognize what new staff could add in in terms of computer virus risk of infection . " Virus risks from a corona angle , but also plant life virus , because ToBRFV is n’t gone yet either .

The latter computer virus is n’t a problem in cucumber , but there are still strict hygiene measures . " We do n’t let any visitors from outside in , and work in shifts so when someone ’s queasy we do n’t have to post everyone home . But other than that everything go along " , saysHartman .

Virus pressureA tomato grower place to the virus pressure , like his bell pepper growing colleague . The company work with a fortune of scholars and Labour Party migrants , but they all need at least a few 24-hour interval or weeks to get on board . " Just simply harvesting tomatoes , that ’s not on the table . "

Distancing in packing roomHarvesting and craw piece of work may be complicated , but what about packing ? " That ’s not simple either " , says the bell pepper grower . " There ’s rigid food for thought safety guidelines , and supplemental corona road map , forcing our stave to keep an superfluous distance from each other . We could n’t even fit out more people in the packing hall now . "

Ornamental staff well option if necessaryWhat about faculty from the cosmetic diligence who are temporarily out of a job ? That would be the best option if necessary , both growers agree . " Those people cognise their mode around a nursery and could form on their own quicker . "
