  The trick is to have a living soil. Without bacteria, mycelium, wild yeasts, and other microbes, you may as well be planting plants in moon dust.

    I have well over 100 plants all planted in lechuza pon and they are thriving! It’s an absolute game changer for aroids. No soil in this household.

      I love Hydroponics specifically because it removes soil. And it turns out that a very large majority of pests basically need that soil to set up shop so when you get rid of soil you get rid of a lot of common pest problems.

      Also be careful if you do it with tomatoes, turns out that being a plant made up 90% of water means that you absolutely love being in a giant bucket of water and grow fucking out of control
