## Abstract

A true living organic (TLO) plant growing system that allows soil to be reused for every new growth cycle. In one aspect, the TLO plant growing system of the solves the problem of preventing opportunities for anaerobic micro-organism activity from building up within the soil thereby creating toxic chemicals that kill microbes beneficial to the growth of the plant. Specifically, the TLO system includes an aerated chamber between the bottom of the bed and the soil that the plants are growing to provide oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, and moisture to the TLO soil and plants and to promote optimal growing conditions, among other advantages disclosed herein.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A true living organic soil system, comprising:
a housing adapted to receive soil and one or more plants therein, wherein the housing comprises a floor region:
a support platform disposed above the floor region of the housing and below the soil, such that the platform comprises an open aerated region between the soil and the floor region, and wherein the open aerated region is adapted to receive oxygen and provide the oxygen to the soil from below:
an oxygen or carbon dioxide injection module comprised of a tubing that extends from an upper region of the housing and is at least partially disposed above the soil and at least partially below one or more leaves of the plants, and wherein the tubing is adapted to dispense oxygen or carbon dioxide at least partially from below the leaves of the plants:
a watering module; and
a lighting module.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising a circulation fan module, wherein the circulation fan module is configured to divert carbon dioxide gases released from the carbon dioxide module upwards.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the support platform is comprised of a grid or lattice configuration.

### Claim 4

A true living organic soil system, comprising:
a housing adapted to receive soil and one or more plants therein, wherein the housing comprises a floor region;
a platform disposed above the floor region of the housing and below the soil, such that the platform comprises an open aerated region between the soil and the floor region, wherein the open aerated region is adapted to provide oxygen to the soil from below, and wherein the platform further comprises an at least partial opening or cut-out adapted to at least partially receive the tubing of the oxygen or carbon dioxide module therein; and
an oxygen or carbon dioxide dispensing module comprised of a tubing disposed within the housing adapted to dispense oxygen or carbon dioxide via a plurality of perforations on the tubing, wherein the tubing is at least partially disposed above the soil in a substantially horizontal configuration within the housing and at least partially below one or more leaves of the plants, and wherein the tubing is adapted to dispense oxygen or carbon dioxide at least partially from below the leaves of the plants.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, further comprising a watering module.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, further comprising a lighting module.

### Claim 7 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, further comprising a circulation fan module.

### Claim 8 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, wherein the platform is comprised of a grid or lattice configuration.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the platform is supported by a plurality of legs.

### Claim 10 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, wherein the at least partial opening or cut-out is located at a corner region of the platform.
