An effort was made to study the physical characteristics of soil less media. Different proportions of soil less media mixture were chosen for the study. The physical properties of soil less media and its effect on germination percentage of tomato weredetermined. The matric potential for different media mixtures also found out. Bulk density and Aeration Porosity were found maximum in the mixture of 1:1:1 (Coir pith : Vermicompost: Sand) because the proportion of sand was more in this mixture. Water holding capacity was found maximum in the mixture 3:2:1 (C:V:S). As the tension increased the moisture content decreased in soil less media over the period of time. This study gave "the comparative analysis for choosing suitable soil less media for healthy crop growth.
