A growth substrate bed suitable for growing plants, which is easy to handle and transport is provided herein. Such a bed consists essentially of a flexible, rollable, container capable of assuming a first rolled configuration and a second unrolled configuration. A dry particulate growth medium in pellet form capable of swelling when water is added thereto is in the container. The growth medium when its dry, unswelled state is evenly distributed in and partially fills the container when the container is in its rolled configuration. In addition, the growth medium when in its wetted, swelled state substantially fills the container when the container is in its unrolled configuration. The container when in its rolled configuration is held sufficiently tight to prevent a substantial displacement of the dry growth medium during handling and transportation of the container. Consequently when the container is unrolled to assume its unrolled configuration and the dry growth medium is wetted, the growth medium needs no repositioning. |
