Trying to get my head straight on what's the difference in "soil" and "soilless" medium.
I get that coco, or peat, with Perlite would be soilless. Where I get confused is all these mixes labeled as potting soil. They're all some ratio of coco or peat mixed with other stuff. Stuff like compost, pine bark, various types of sand.
Are those soil or soilless?
I would say soilless. When I think soil I think what I dig up when planting a tree or my garden.
So what is soil and what is soilless?
