Delivery and Shipping

Shipping Policy

Shipping is expensive, and it gets more expensive almost every year. We are not going to pretend otherwise. What we can tell you is that we work hard to find the most reliable and affordable way to get your order to you, and we pass along free shipping wherever it makes sense.

Free shipping on any order with two or more items. The one exception is bulk items, meaning the large or heavy products that have to move by freight or oversized parcel. If your cart qualifies, free shipping is applied automatically at checkout.

Why two items and not a dollar amount?

Most stores set free shipping at a dollar threshold. That works when you sell light things like clothing. We don't. We ship soil, amendments, and heavy real goods that are expensive and awkward to move, so a dollar minimum doesn't reflect what shipping actually costs us.

We are a small business with no outside financial backing, and we are not Amazon. We manufacture, pack, and ship everything in house so we can control quality, which means real people picking, boxing, taping, and labeling every order, and that means real jobs. When we ship a single item for free, the only way to cover it is to raise prices across the board, and we would rather not do that. Asking for two or more items on free orders lets us keep prices lower for everyone and keep shipping sustainable. We hate high shipping costs as much as you do, and this is the fairest way we have found to keep them down.

Delivery estimates

Every product page shows an estimated delivery window based on current fulfillment and carrier schedules, so you know what to expect before you buy.

Carriers

We ship with FedEx, UPS, and USPS, and we pick the carrier that gets your order to you reliably at the best cost. We cannot guarantee a specific carrier unless you arrange it with us ahead of time.

PO Boxes

Orders to PO Boxes often cost more and usually do not qualify for free shipping. Use a physical address to avoid delays and added fees.

Outside the Continental US

We ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. Free shipping generally does not apply to large or bulky items going to these destinations, though Hawaii and Alaska have more flexibility depending on carrier policy. Rates are quoted at checkout or on request.

Canada

We ship select items to Canada. Canadian customers need to choose "UPS Standard Shipping to Canada" at checkout so your order clears customs cleanly and you avoid surprise brokerage fees. Orders placed with other methods can be delayed or rejected at the border.

Vendor-Fulfilled Items

Some products ship directly from our vendor partners and show their own estimated ship dates on the product page. Questions about these go to support@buildasoil.com.

Freight Shipments

Freight orders arrive on pallets by box truck or semi. We assume you need liftgate service unless you tell us otherwise.

Inspect every freight shipment before you sign. Count the packages and check for damage. Signing the delivery receipt confirms the order arrived complete and undamaged, so note any problem on the receipt before you sign it.

Full Truckloads

Full truckload (FTL) orders are custom quoted after checkout based on your location, order volume, and how the truck will be unloaded.

  • Let us know if you have a dock, forklift, or other unloading equipment.
  • Tell us if you need liftgate or manual unload service.
  • Email support@buildasoil.com ahead of time for an FTL quote.
Order Tracking

We email tracking as soon as your order ships. If it does not arrive, check buildasoil.aftership.com with your order details, or email support@buildasoil.com.

Shipping Protection

This optional add-on at checkout covers your shipment against loss, theft, and damage, and we fast-track those claims for replacement or resolution. Even with protection, photos and documentation help us move carrier claims along faster.

Claims

Send all claims to support@buildasoil.com. We do not process claims by phone.

Include:

  • A description of the issue
  • Photos or video of the damage, or of missing or incorrect items
  • Images of the packaging and labels

Hold onto the packaging and any damaged items until the claim is resolved, since carriers may require an inspection.

Claim deadlines

  • Damage or missing items: within 60 days of delivery
  • Incorrect products: within 60 days of shipment
  • Lost or misdelivered packages: within 60 days of shipment
Once Your Order Leaves Our Facility

We help with every carrier claim we can. But once an order is in the carrier's hands, we cannot control delays, damage, or misdelivery, and the carrier makes the final call on claims.

Description

New

Now packed food grade. Every bag we ship carries a sticker on the front, which means you and your family can drink it, not just feed it to your plants. See what to look for

One ingredient. Nothing else.

The original Horticultural Coconut. Now food grade.

100% pure freeze dried young coconut water powder. No maltodextrin, no starch, no anti-caking agent, no fillers of any kind. Open the bag and the only thing in it is coconut water with the water taken out.

Growers have been using coconut water in the garden since Clackamas Coot started talking about it around 2010. We were the first to make it a real product, and fifteen years later growers still swear by it.

Why growers use it

Coconut water is the liquid endosperm of a young coconut. Biologically, it is the nutrient solution a seed built for itself to grow an entire tree out of. That is a very different thing from a nutrient someone mixed in a factory.

It is nature's original sprouted seed tea

Clackamas Coot invented sprouted seed teas: soak and sprout a seed, then feed your plants the water. The reason it works is that a germinating seed floods its surroundings with enzymes, hormones and growth compounds. Coconut water is that same principle at enormous scale. It is a giant sprouted seed tea, already made and already concentrated.

Its most famous component is cytokinin, the phytohormone group associated with cell division and lateral branching. This is not folklore. Coconut water has been used as a standard growth supplement in plant tissue culture and micropropagation for decades, precisely because of its phytohormone content. Alongside the cytokinins you get sugars, minerals, vitamins and amino acids, all in a form plants and soil biology can use immediately.

It works as a foliar spray, as a soil drench, and at acreage scale through drip. Growers run it through both veg and flower.

What the lab found

We sent it to Spectrum Analytic, an independent agricultural lab, and ran a fertilizer analysis. The result is unusual enough to be worth publishing.

Analysis Result
Total nitrogen < 0.01%
Water soluble nitrogen < 0.01%
Water insoluble nitrogen (WIN) < 0.01%
Available phosphate (P2O5) < 0.01%
Soluble potash (K2O) 3.56%

Read that again. Nitrogen below the detection floor. Phosphate below the detection floor. Potash at 3.56%. This is functionally a 0-0-3.56, which means when you add it you are adding potassium, hormones and sugars, and essentially no nitrogen or phosphorus at all.

That matters more than it sounds. Most things you could add for potassium bring nitrogen along with them, and nitrogen is the last thing you want going into a plant at the end of a run. This does not have that problem, because there is nothing else in the bag to bring it.

It also beats its own spec. Our supplier documents 27 mg of coconut potassium per gram. The lab found 3.56% soluble potash, which works out to roughly 29.6 mg per gram, about 10% over.

Why freeze dried, not spray dried

Spray drying blasts the liquid through hot air. It is fast, it is cheap, and it is what almost everyone else does. It also has a problem: pure coconut water is too sticky and too hygroscopic to spray dry on its own, which is why spray dried products almost always need a carrier like maltodextrin added before drying. The carrier is not a bonus ingredient. It is a processing crutch.

Freeze drying removes the water without heat. The enzymes, hormones and nutrients survive intact, and no carrier is required, which is how we end up with a product that is genuinely one ingredient. It costs more to make. It is worth it.

How to use it

Foliar or drench 1/2 to 1 tsp
per gallon

Use through both veg and flower. Start at 1/2 tsp and work up.

Larger batches 1/3 lb per
50 gallons

Or 1 pound per 150 gallons. Same rate, bigger tank.

Acreage 1/2 to 1 lb
per acre

1/2 pound per acre foliar, 1 pound per acre through drip.

Mix into your water, give it a few minutes to go into solution, then stir. It contains no preservatives, so mix what you need and use it fresh.

Where it fits in the BuildASoil Way

In our full supplemental program this is the finisher. BuildABloom carries the phosphorus and calcium load through bloom and then tapers off, and coconut water powder ramps up in its place to take over potassium duty. In the final week of the run BuildABloom is out entirely and this is the only thing going into the water.

That handoff is only possible because of the analysis above. Swapping to a potassium source that also carried nitrogen would undo the taper you spent the last month setting up.

Run the BuildASoil Way calculator and it will size the whole schedule for your garden.

Which size bag do I need?

Bag size Covers At
8 ounce 113 gallons 1/2 tsp per gallon
1 pound 226 gallons 1/2 tsp per gallon
44 pound 9,979 gallons 1/2 tsp per gallon

Conversions: 1 teaspoon weighs 4 grams. 1 tablespoon weighs 12 grams. 1 cup weighs about 6.75 ounces. Half a pound of powder is roughly 19 tablespoons.

What makes ours different

The coconut water powder market is a mess. Here is what to look out for, and where we stand on each of it.

  1. 01

    Filler ingredients

    Beware: Many products are cut with starch, maltodextrin or minerals, which dilute the purity and the effectiveness. You pay for coconut water and you get a bag that is partly something else.

    BuildASoil: No fillers. 100 percent pure freeze dried coconut water powder, and nothing else. The lab result above is what that looks like on paper.

  2. 02

    Anti-caking agents and hidden carriers

    Beware: Most coconut water powder is spray dried with maltodextrin, dextrin or gum blended in specifically to keep it free flowing. A powder that never clumps is usually a powder with starch in it.

    BuildASoil: We add nothing at all, so ours can develop soft clumps. Those clumps dissolve completely, and they are your proof there is no filler in the bag.

  3. 03

    Inferior drying methods

    Beware: Spray drying uses heat, and heat degrades the enzymes and hormones that make coconut water worth using in the first place.

    BuildASoil: Freeze dried, which removes water without heat and preserves the nutritional integrity of the coconut water.

  4. 04

    Low quality imports

    Beware: A lot of what is on the market is bought off Alibaba, and some of it is not genuine coconut water powder at all.

    BuildASoil: Sourced from organically grown coconuts, direct from the farm. No middleman distributors.

  5. 05

    Lack of transparency

    Beware: Most companies will not tell you where it came from, how it was dried, or what else is in the bag.

    BuildASoil: You just read all three, in detail, including the parts that are inconvenient for us.

  6. 06

    Natural batch variation

    Beware: Nobody wants to admit that an agricultural product changes with the season. So when the color or the smell shifts, customers assume something is wrong.

    BuildASoil: Because ours is pure, with no stabilizers evening things out, weather and harvest timing will shift the color and aroma a little. That is what a real agricultural product does. It does not affect quality or performance.

Storage and clumping

Soft clumps of BuildASoil freeze dried coconut water powder inside an open bag

About as clumpy as it gets. Most bags look better than this. Every clump here dissolves.

Store it cool and dry, and keep moisture out of the bag.

Pure freeze dried coconut water is hygroscopic, so it pulls moisture from the air and can develop soft clumps. That is normal and it is not a defect. It is what happens when there is no anti-caking agent in the bag.

The clumps dissolve completely. Everything in here is water soluble, so there is nothing in a clump that can fail to go into solution. Drop it in your water, give it about 10 minutes, then stir.

If a bag ever arrives as a solid brick that will not break apart or dissolve, that is a different problem and we want to hear about it at support@buildasoil.com.

Now packed food grade. Check your bag for the sticker.

Everything we are shipping right now is packed in a food grade kitchen with full food safety protocol in place, and every one of those bags carries a sticker on the front. If your bag has the sticker, you and your family can drink it.

Where it sits on the bag.

To drink it: about 1 tablespoon per 8 ounces of water, or to taste. Stir, give it a minute, done. That is the entire recipe, because there is only one ingredient.

NOTICE: no sticker, do not drink it. We wholesale this powder to other retailers, and bags packed before this change are still on their shelves. Those are the same powder from the same source, but they were not packed in the food grade kitchen, so they are for horticultural use only. If the bag in your hand has no sticker, it did not come from our current inventory.

Why we bothered

Customers have been asking for this for years, and the reason is simple economics. Bottled coconut water is expensive. The powders on the store shelf are usually spray dried, and almost none of them are a single ingredient, because the money in that category comes from adding things: salt for electrolytes, flavorings, maltodextrin to bulk it out. A genuinely single ingredient freeze dried coconut water powder is hard to find at any price.

We are testing the process and the cost of it right now to be sure we can do it permanently. If it holds up, the packaging itself gets updated and every bag will be food grade without needing a sticker to say so.

The honest catch is supply. We work roughly a year ahead on production to time the harvest and keep inventory on hand, and even then it sells out sometimes. If it is in stock and you want it, that is the moment.

Questions

My bag has clumps in it. Is something wrong?

No. Clumping is normal and it is a sign of purity, not a defect. Pure freeze dried coconut water pulls moisture from the air and sticks to itself. Products that never clump generally have starch or gum added to stop it.

Drop the clump into your water, let it sit about 10 minutes, then stir. It dissolves completely. Nothing in this bag is insoluble, so there is nothing in a clump that can fail to dissolve.

What does it actually do for my plants?

Coconut water is loaded with cytokinins, the phytohormone group associated with cell division and lateral branching, which is why it has been used as a growth supplement in plant tissue culture for decades. It also brings sugars, minerals, vitamins and amino acids that feed both the plant and the soil biology. Growers use it foliar and as a drench through veg and flower.

On the nutrient side it is almost purely potassium. Independent testing came back at 3.56% soluble potash with nitrogen and phosphate both below the detection floor, which is why it works so well as a finisher at the end of a run.

How much do I need?

Half a teaspoon to a teaspoon per gallon of water. An 8 ounce bag makes 113 gallons at the half teaspoon rate, a 1 pound bag makes 226 gallons, and the 44 pound bag makes 9,979 gallons. For most home growers, a 1 pound bag lasts a very long time.

Why is it more expensive than the coconut water powder on Amazon?

Two reasons. Freeze drying costs considerably more than spray drying. And we are not selling you 30 percent maltodextrin at coconut water prices. Compare the ingredient panel, not the sticker.

Can I drink it?

Check the front of the bag for the food grade sticker. Everything in our inventory right now has one, which means it was packed in a food grade kitchen with full food safety protocol, and yes you can drink it. Use about 1 tablespoon per 8 ounces of water, or to taste.

If there is no sticker, do not drink it. We wholesale to other retailers and bags packed before this change are still out there. Same powder, same source, but not packed in the food grade kitchen, so those are for horticultural use only.

Why does it go out of stock?

Because it is a single ingredient agricultural product with no filler to stretch it. We work about a year ahead on production to line up with harvest timing and keep inventory on hand, but demand does not always cooperate with a growing season. When it is in stock, it is in stock.

Great Product

I used throughout the whole grow and got healthy buds and this seemed to help finish. I was impressed enough and want to try on my outdoor as just a finisher the past few weeks of flower and see how it does.
