What is soil ?

Soil is by far the most familiar and popular growing medium for both beginners and professional growers across the globe. When selecting a soil or soil mix, it is important to consider factors such as pH, fertilizer content, aeration, texture, and degree of bacterial contamination. Because of its affordability and accessibility, it is often a substrate for growers.

There are three main functions for soil. It provides a basis for plant growth, a habitat for bacteria and fungi, and also filters water and recycles raw materials. It helps plants grow healthy by providing ideal conditions for your plant's roots to reach under and/or through the soil to anchor the plant. Air is trapped in the spaces between soil particles, providing extra oxygen that the plant's root cells can absorb, helping to break down sugars to convert into energy for plants.

Water aids in the transport of nutrients, maintains photosynthesis, and helps maintain cell size. With this in mind, it is important to choose a high-quality soil with a lightweight structure that increases overall water holding capacity. Products like Biogreen Totall Mix contain white and black peat, perlite, and organic wormwood. The result of this is a lightly structured soil that increases water absorption while optimizing the conditions for biological activity to thrive.

We find this to be the best soil for growing healthy plants. It also encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria and bacteria to support healthy plants. Growers also often use Coco VinaTap Soil, which is a certified organic soil for growing large plants in pots and offers exceptional growth rates. Soil encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria in the rhizosphere and includes the perfect balance of nutrients for a bountiful crop.
