Located in Skye, the area is apparently low in pest and diseases; therefore having minimum need of chemical sprays, and additional fertilizers. Each mother plant would be ensured to having no existing disease before propagation. 

Mulch, and premixed soils are used heavily, with water drawn from both potable and recycled from Carrum treatment plant.

At the site, there were mostly women employed - especially at the propagation facility.
