A multi-media gelatinous structure for the growth of an organism, wherein said structure comprises:
- a first gelatinous compound, wherein said first gelatinous compound comprises at least one growth enhancement additive;
- one or more second gelatinous compounds, wherein said one or more second gelatinous compounds comprises at least one growth enhancement additive, and wherein the at least one growth enhancement additive of the second gelatinous compound is different from or in a different quantity from the at least one growth enhancement additive of the first gelatinous compound;
- and
- wherein said first gelatinous compound is embedded within said one or more second gelatinous compound to create a multi-media gelatinous structure.
A method for growing plants in a multi-media gelatinous structure, wherein said method comprises:
- dissolving a gelling agent and one or more growth enhancement additives into a first aqueous solution and at least one second aqueous solution;
- pouring said first gelatinous solution and said at least one second aqueous solution into separate containers;
- allowing said first and said second aqueous solution to solidify to produce a first gelatinous compound and at least one second gelatinous compound, wherein said first gelatinous compound and said second gelatinous compound has a different density;
- releasing said gelatinous compounds from said containers;
- embedding said first gelatinous compound within said at least one second gelatinous compound to create a stacked gelatinous media;
- placing a plant on the surface of said first gelatinous compound of said stacked gelatinous media;
- and
- growing said plant in said stacked gelatinous media.
A method for growing an organism through multiple stages of growth, the method comprising:
- providing a multi-media structure comprising at least a first gelatinous compound and a second gelatinous compound, wherein the first gelatinous compound comprises at least one growth enhancement additive;
- and
- wherein said at least second gelatinous comprises at least one growth enhancement additive;
- and wherein the at least one growth enhancement additive of the at least second gelatinous is different from or in a different quantity from the at least one growth enhancement additive of the first gelatinous compound;
- providing an organism and establishing said organism on the surface of said first gelatinous compound, wherein said organism is established on said first gelatinous compound;
- growing said organism on said first gelatinous compound;
- allowing said organism to growth through said first gelatinous compound and into said second gelatinous compound.
