We ship with FedEx, UPS, and USPS. Carrier preference is not guaranteed unless explicitly communicated to us.
Orders shipped to PO Boxes often require additional costs and are not eligible for free shipping. Use a physical address to avoid delays and fees.
We ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Free shipping generally does not apply to large or bulky items shipped to these locations. Hawaii and Alaska do have more flexibility with this due to carrier policies. Quotes will be calculated at checkout or by request.
We do ship to Canada for select items. Canadian customers must choose “UPS Standard® Shipping to Canada with no Surprises!” at checkout to ensure proper customs clearance and avoid unexpected brokerage fees or delays. Orders using other methods may be subject to delays or rejection at customs.
Some products are fulfilled by vendor partners and display estimated ship dates on their product pages. Questions about these items should be sent to support@buildasoil.com.
Freight deliveries involve pallets via box trucks or semis. Liftgate service is assumed unless specified otherwise.

Your mulch isn’t breaking down fast enough, nutrients feel “locked up,” and you want that living-soil pop without overcomplicating things?
Kashi Gold is our answer: an artful, small-batch bokashi designed specifically for gardening, not just composting. Sprinkled on the mulch layer, it teams up with your soil food web so plants can intelligently access nutrients through thriving soil food web networks.
The Story Behind Kashi Gold
Deep Roots, Refined Craft
Bokashi is ancient anaerobic fermentation. Years ago, through the Probiotic Farmers Alliance, we met Alan Adkisson, the first person we knew to design a complete bokashi for growing plants. This business was founded with his partner Eddy Lepp. His approach (what he called solid-state fermentation) delivered visible white, pillowy mycelial growth on mulch and faster breakdown in living beds.
Alan launched Gro-Kashi, which set the bar. Later, a past employee of BuildASoil named AJ built on that legacy with Kashi Blend at Growing Organic. When that chapter closed, we came full circle: Alan rejoined us. Together, we set out to make the best bokashi for gardens, treated like a premium culinary experience for your soil from start to finish.
What’s Inside (and Why It Matters)
How It’s Crafted
Fermented, dried, and finished with care by Alan, whose process has been refined over years of hands-on work. He includes sun activation to encourage PNSB activity and preserve the living character you’ll notice the moment you open the bag an ancestral, sour-fermented aroma growers love. ☀️🧡

Quick Notes
If you’ve followed our journey from Gro-Kashi to Kashi Blend and back with Alan, you’ll recognize the intent: honor tradition, refine the craft, and deliver garden-ready bokashi that simply works.
Mycelium?
We all called it this in the beginning, but eventually the community has realized that this is likely a bacteria called actinomycetes
Actinomycetes (Streptomyces species):
These bacteria behave like fungi and create the white, cobweb-like filaments you’re seeing. They play a major role in breaking down tough plant materials such as cellulose, lignin, and chitin. Actinomycetes also produce antimicrobial compounds, which help suppress pathogens.
