A soilless mix is a mixture of
components in which it is possible to grow a plant
but which does not contain soil in the
traditional sense, that is, no garden soil or compost.
Here is a simple example of a Soilless mix:
50% Perlite
50% Vermiculite
Here's

Castings (Worm i presume although the author does not
specify)
30% Vermiculite
30% Perlite

IF you happen to miss a couple of
waterings the plant can dry out quick because the mix
will not hold much moisture. Soil is much easier and
will provide nutrients throughout the grow, lessening
the need for ferts.

joe>> Soilless mediums can contain peat moss (like
pro-mix)as an ingredient along with worm castings,
perlite, etc. |
