PROGRAM: Growing Plants in River Rock

​Richard Campbell, founder of To Soil Less, shared his innovative and proven methods for growing plants in nutrient-rich river rocks. His unique approach to gardening has led to the creation of gardens not only in the District of Columbia but across the globe. Founded in 2010, To Soil Less is a family-owned business dedicated to introducing gravel-based growing techniques to the agricultural and gardening communities. Richard's methods focus on using gravel as the primary medium for plant cultivation, offering an environmentally sustainable and resource-efficient alternative to traditional soil-based gardening. The materials used in this system are all-natural, durable, and designed to last a lifetime, making it a revolutionary approach for both small and large-scale gardening. His presentation provided valuable insights into how this technique can enhance crop production while minimizing resource consumption.
