Lack of soil

Wondering about the correct spelling of the word used for the absence of soil: soiless, soilless or soil-less. Maybe they are interchangeable? In any event, Wiktionary has no entry for any of those. --Ishel99 03:00, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I also have "soilless compost" in the shed (UK) SemperBlotto 16:57, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
