rastlantsalla
Rastlantsalla is a term used in some horticultural discussions to describe a modular, layered root-zone cultivation system designed for efficient management of water, nutrients, and aeration in a compact footprint. The concept emphasizes optimized root oxygenation by distributing roots across vertical layers rather than concentrating them in a single deep medium.
The typical design comprises stacked or interlocking substrate modules, each containing a porous medium, irrigation channels,
Rastlantsalla systems are discussed in the context of controlled-environment agriculture, urban farming, and experimental botany. They
Potential advantages include improved water-use efficiency, healthier root systems, and scalability in small or vertical spaces.
The term has appeared in non-peer-reviewed horticultural discussions and experimental setups. It remains a niche concept
