GROWING MEDIA
Overview
In any soil-less gardening system that uses a media its purpose is
solely to anchor the roots and hold moisture/nutrients for the plant.
The media itself is inert and contains no plant nutrients. Made of
various inert materials it will not decompose, nor harbour any soil
borne pests or diseases. We offer a wide range of growing media that has
been selected due to their high quality and superior capacity for
holding nutrient solutions, while still retaining a good balance of
oxygen and moisture.
The subtle difference between soil and non-soil mediums is their
ability to hold water and oxygen, and their ability to hold onto
nutrient ions and supply them to the plant roots as the plant calls for
them. Real soil is not often used indoors anymore.
