Abstract: There is provided an off-ground plant growing system providing an electronic monitoring system and also providing a thin layer of high porosity organic compost and providing the steps of adding a precise amount of vermicompost to the soil phase, immediately followed by addition of arbuscular mycorhizae, and followed by regular weekly addition of beneficial micro-organisms for plant development, including mycorhizae associated bacteria, plant growth promoting fungi, soil conditioning bacteria, purple non-sulphur bacteria and probiotic disease-preventing bacteria, in order to promote the creation of a well differentiated, dense and ramified root system and complete microrhizobiome in the compost phase, that can effectively assist the functions of plant roots for optimal precision greenhouse, green walling or homegrown crop production of all kinds, without the use of chemical pesticides or fungicides.

Abstract: A method of plant cultivation which comprises inoculating plants in a plant growing system comprising a container and an insert therefore, the microbial inoculant containing at least one species from the following group of microorganisms comprising arbuscular mycorrhizae associated bacteria, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, yeast microorganisms and substrate conditioning bacteria.

Abstract: A gardening system wherein there is provided an outer container and a soil support insert placed therein, the soil support insert is spaced with the bottom wall of the container to find a water space and an air space therebetween, the insert having at least one downwardly extending wall which defines a cavity and the downwardly extending wall having a plurality of apertures therein to permit root growth therethrough, a non-soil growing medium within the cavity, the non-soil growing medium including mycorrhizal fungi incorporated therein. The system provides for an enhanced plant growth.

Abstract: There is provided a plant container wherein there is an insert adapted to be placed within the container, the insert having a soil supporting member spaced from the bottom of the container, the soil supporting member having a plurality of apertures formed therein. There is at least a first liquid outlet from the container which is located between the bottom wall and the soil supporting member and also provided are gas communication means to permit gaseous communication to a space intermediate the liquid outlet and the soil supporting member.
