Abstract
A growing medium for plant organisms having a plurality of bodies forming a network of bodies. Each body in the plurality of bodies has a Shore D hardness value of at least 5. At least one body in the plurality of bodies has at least one pore for receiving a fluid.
Claims33
A growing medium for a plant organism comprising:
- a plurality of bodies forming a network of bodies, each body in the plurality of bodies having a Shore D hardness value of at least 5,
- wherein at least one body in the plurality of bodies has at least one pore for receiving a fluid.

A method of optimizing growth of a plant organism, the method comprising:
- selecting a plant organism to be grown;
- determining at least one desired growth condition of the plant organism;
- selecting, based on the at least one desired growth condition, a plurality of bodies;
- and
- combining the plurality of bodies to form a network for growing the plant organism, the network having the at least one desired growth condition.

A kit for plant organism growth having at least one desired growth condition, the kit comprising:
- a plurality of first bodies, at least one first body in the plurality of first bodies having at least one pore and each first body in the plurality of first bodies having a first parameter;
- and
- a plurality of second bodies, at least one second body in the plurality of second bodies having at least one pore and each second body in the plurality of second bodies having a second parameter,
- wherein the first parameter and the second parameter are at least one of structure, size, shape, material composition, void ratio, porosity, pore size, pore position, number of pores, hardness, compressibility, rigidity, fluid retention, fluid percolation, pathogen resistance, permeability, surface chemistry, material bulk properties, wettability, or bulk density,
- the first parameter is different than the second parameter, and
- a selection of the plurality of first bodies and a selection of the plurality of second bodies are combinable to form a network of bodies such that the network forms the at least one desired growth condition based on the first parameter and the second parameter.
