The green plant is a plant that is eco-friendly without soil. The pot seen is also eco-friendly because it is made of biodegradable material, newspaper, or long lasting, terra cotta.

I am new to this ... I know it's probable a dumb question

how much of the "Rice Husk/Hulls" do you need?? in the first couple of pictures it doesn't look like you used much but in the last picture the pot is full.

why not use masking tape, instead of duct?  duct will not biodegrade for a long, long time, as it is made with plastic.
