Soil-based Substrate

Soil-based substrate refers to a growing medium made primarily from natural soil or soil-like materials used in gardening and agriculture. It provides essential nutrients, good drainage, and a stable environment for plant roots to grow. This type of substrate supports healthy plant development by retaining moisture while allowing excess water to drain away, reducing the risk of root rot. It often contains organic matter like compost or peat, creating a nourishing environment for plants. Soil-based substrates are common in traditional gardening and horticulture, offering a familiar medium that promotes strong root systems and overall plant health.
