What is Soilless?
At Soilless, we are a team of passionate designers who are creating an innovative indoor gardening system that allows users to grow their own fresh, healthy food no matter where they live. Our patent-pending vertical design is perfect for urban dwellers who want a personal garden but don’t have the space to grow. Our system ships flat-packed to your door and can be easily set up right out of the box. We even ship seeds and nutrients to you every month to ensure a seamless growing experience. Compared to our competitors’ systems, our system can grow larger and healthier plants, is more sustainable, and is 4x more cost-effective.
