CitySoil™ was born as a result of years of research by leading soil scientists and green roof professionals in collaboration with universities, research institutes and partner companies. The majority of CitySoil™ is inorganic component – extremely light weight, but wind resistant, that will not degrade or decompose over time with high porosity and permeability and ultimate balance of nutrition, water retention, aeration and drainage. This unique technology is patented by the company.
For example using CitySoil™ instead of other lightweight media on a 10000 sq ft, 6 inch depth urban farm or green roof. The roof will be lighter up to 17 tonnes!!! And also much more affordable.
But the main thing about CitySoil is that it made specifically for Urban farms and Green Roofs – Extremely light weight, but wind resistant, that will not degrade or decompose over time with high porosity and permeability and ultimate balance of nutrition, water retention, aeration and drainage.
