SLG Step by Step Series

Update: July 2019

The Soil-less Garden Step by Step Series

from the Perelandra Question Line Duo

It's time for a new, extraordinary approach to how we function in the world around us; a new approach to how we think; a new approach to understanding and interacting with nature.

If you've thought about trying a soil-less garden, watched the DVD, Working with Nature in Soil-less Gardens, or read the Perelandra Soil-less Garden Companion, but feel a little intimidated — relax. In this series, we give you the bare bones, minimal reading and DVD watching that you need. We encourage you to read and watch more than we suggest for added insight and greater understanding.

In case you missed it, read the important information presented here before beginning this series.
