@tigerone1970 I prefer, multiple layers check out True Living Organics, it's a method of growing that uses layers and 100% organic ingredients. The plants are pretty much, just add water. Perhaps a few teas while the plant is growing to add more microorganisms that feed the plant.
Interesting. But you can achieve a similar and more natural effect by making the top 1/3 of the soil lighter and milder, and putting all the nutrients in the lower 2/3 of the pot.
This guides the roots down into the pot, rather than let the roots circle the pot in search of nutrients.

Thank you so much for the True Living Organics term. I am moving more and more into this direction.
I've heard of similar things from Patricia Lanza's Lasagna Gardening, and Sepp Holzer's Hugelkultur or hugelculture.
Also, please check out this brilliant piece:

Growing times cut by up to 50% , that sounds like an embellishment of the truth.
