It is impossible to clean polystyrene 100% without damaging the raft. Our coated rafts are nearly indestructible with even the most pressure from a power washer. This means a farmer can get the rafts back to new surface sanitation every harvest cycle without fear of spreading pathogens.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEliminate Algae Growth\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e: Inadequate cleaning of traditional EPS rafts can lead to algae growth, which competes with plants for nutrients and can block light, negatively impacting the health of the system.

Bootstrap Farmer’s coated rafts are flexible enough not to break under the heaviest of crop loads in any way workers handle the boards. No more broken corners to let light in, no more culling of rafts to send to the landfill, and no more ordering replacement rafts every time you hire a new worker. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReduce Environmental Concerns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e: EPS rafts are a form of plastic, which raises environmental concerns regarding their disposal and the potential for pollution when using degraded EPS rafts and sending them to landfills.
