For the Soil Gardener

Plants have traditionally been grown outdoors in the ground or in pots containing soil or potting mix. This traditional substrate provides an effective base nutrient profile and a complex ecosystem of microbes to support plant growth. Soil systems may be enhanced by using nutrient supplements and additives to complement the nutrient profile and encourage the establishment of symbiotic microbes. Soil systems can be integrated into controlled indoor setups wherein the supply of supplemental liquid nutrients may be regulated and automated. Soil gardening is a user-friendly growing style, which utilises natural ecosystems to support healthy and robust plant growth.
