Soil Candy

Potting soil only lasts 3-6 months before it’s stale, compacted, out of balance and virtually lifeless. Without abundant biology in the soil, whatever nutrients are left won’t break down fast enough to support the plant.

Our Soil Prep and Repotting products give soils structure and balance making it resilient to stress and helping it stay alive and thriving for years.

And while preparing soil before planting is best, our Topdressing and Liquid Maintenance products will revive stale soil and keep healthy soil fertile and balanced. No additional fertilizer is needed for most plants. But if you’re really trying to fine tune the composition, we have many natural, single-ingredient fertilizers available.

Each product set comes in 2 categories: one that is all purpose and favors beautiful leafy growth (houseplants, herbs, greens, shrubs) and another that favors blossoming, fruiting and large root vegetables. All products pictured are 100% organic, based primarily on our Craft Worm Castings and blended with up to 13 other natural fertilizers and elements to create super blends.

Crafted in the Sierras.

Feed the soil. Let the soil care for plant.
