ARTIFICIAL SOILS Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A01G31/00 C05F3/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention may be used to produce artificial soils intended for growing herbaceous plants and tree forms of plants in conditions of closed or open ground. Artificial soil contains an organic substrate, obtained by fermenting a mixture of animal wastes. Biocompost obtained as a result of the processing of manure of cattle with vermicomposting is used as an organic substrate. In addition, layered non-swelling aluminosilicates with fractions of 2–4 mm, volcanic rocks with fractions of 5–20 mm and vermiculite granules having a size of 2–5 mm, in following ratio of components, mass%: vermiculite 2–35; aluminosilicates 2–45; volcanic rocks 2–40; organic substrate 20–80.

EFFECT: it is ensured an increase in the life of the soil in comparison with peat-sand mixtures, peat mixtures and construct soils due to the stability of its structure, the universality of the substrate is ensured, those the ability to grow plants as wood forms (due to the stable structure of the substrate), and use a substrate in greenhouse agriculture to grow organic food, eliminates the need for insecticides and/or fungicides, and preservatives for long periods of storage.
