US 12,628,748 B2 · Growing medium

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a growing medium comprises accumulating a particulate material. The particulate material comprises particles having a range of particle sizes. The method further comprises agitating the particulate material which causes smaller particles of particulate material to sink to the bottom of the growing medium under gravity and to thereby displace larger particles of particulate material to the top of the growing medium. There is also provided a growing medium comprising a particulate material defining a volume of particulate material which comprises particles having a range of particle sizes. The concentration of smaller particles of particulate material increases from the bottom of the volume of the particulate material to the top of the volume of the particulate material. The concentration of larger particles of particulate material decreases from the bottom of the volume of particulate material to the top of the volume of particulate material.
