You can find special growing soil and soil-based substrate mixtures for successful cultivation here. The composition is tailored to the plants, pre-fertilised or not, depending on your preferences. Instead of using unspecifically fertilised potting soil from the DIY store, it is worth using special growing soil that is optimised for the respective plants in terms of nutrient supply. Growing plants in soil is historically one of the oldest activities of mankind. Although soil is probably the most complex growing medium today when all factors are taken into account, its popularity remains unbroken. This is partly due to the fact that the trend is towards completely organic growing projects in which no chemical or synthetic additives are used - but also due to the relatively high tolerance for fertilisation and watering errors, which the soil can compensate for thanks to its buffering effect.

Mix your own soil mixtures from individual components

One advantage of soil as a growing medium is that its composition can be adapted to a wide variety of plants and growing situations. A soil mixture for indoor growing can, for example, achieve a better air supply for the plant by adding perlite or ensure a higher water absorption capacity with the help of coconut fibre substrate. Guano or worm humus are also popular organic components of self-mixed grow soil, which act as long-term organic fertilisers.

Cultivation on soil enables long-term fertilisation

In general, slow-release organic fertilisers can only be used on soil, as they are dependent on the soil flora and the composition of the medium to develop their effect. Long-term fertilisation is not possible in a nutrient solution and the risk of over-fertilisation is therefore much greater. At the same time, it is possible to utilise the microorganisms living in the soil, i.e. bacteria and fungi, to the benefit of the plants, as they convert dead biomass into nutrients.

Is grow soil reusable? After a successful grow, the soil has been depleted by watering, fertilising, buffering and the removal of nutrients from the plants and should not be reused for growing the same plants or edible crops in general. However, it does not have to be disposed of, but can be used for less demanding houseplants and ornamental plants that have different nutritional requirements.
