Tamborine Mountain Nursery Slashes Cleaning Time by 90% with SPITWATER

Tamborine Mountain Nursery supplies ornamental plants to major retailers across Queensland. The team at SPITWATER helped the nursery cut bench cleaning time by 90% —boosting productivity and eliminating costly plant rejections.

The Problem

With a unique flood irrigation system in place, the Nursery faced a recurring problem: waterborne debris left an unsightly scum line around every plant pot. Clients were rejecting these plants due to the dirty appearance—resulting in costly waste and time-consuming rework.

To maintain hygiene and visual standards, staff were manually scrubbing greenhouse benches between each growing cycle—a painstaking job that took 30 minutes per bench. With 30 benches in a greenhouse, that meant over 15 hours of manual labour every cycle, pulling valuable team members away from other critical tasks on the farm.

By working directly with SPITWATER solution experts, the nursery could move forward with total confidence that the solution would match the cleaning need. 

The Results

The difference was night and day.

  • Clean time per bench dropped from 30 minutes to just 2 minutes
  • A full greenhouse clean that used to take over 15 hours now takes just a couple of hours
  • Team members are now freed up to focus on other essential farm tasks

The SPITWATER solution didn’t just save time—it boosted productivity, eliminated costly product rejections, and delivered a professional clean that reinforced the nursery’s quality reputation with their clients.
