Free Shipping? Only available to contiguous U.S.
Shipping Times: After Fulfillment
We use the product length, width, height, and weight. We send this info through a custom system that calculates the absolute best box to combine your items into. This box and weight info is then sent within seconds to the carrier and back again to display the real time rates. We do not ever add money to our shipping rates.
Freight shipping is our go to shipping option for when your order has become too big to ship through ordinary parcel. With freight shipping, your order will go onto a box truck or semi trailer. Depending on whether you are a residential or commercial customer, we will make sure the proper accessories are selected from our end to make delivery as easy as possible for you! With a freight delivery, the shipping carrier will contact you and likely schedule a delivery appointment to make sure you are there at time of delivery and can sign for the shipment.
Do not sign for your order until you have confirmed an identical count of boxes, bags, rolls, bundles, pails, etc. and have checked very carefully for apparent and/or concealed damage. We will not accept any responsibility for missing and/or damaged items unless you note a count discrepancy and/or identify damage on the bill of lading at the time of delivery!
All orders shipping via FedEx or USPS, you will be provided with tracking information via an email to the email address provided on the order on the day the order is shipped. Please contact us immediately if you think your shipment is lost or if your shipment arrives damaged.
When your order arrives, open the package immediately and inspect the content against the packing slip; it is especially important to check viability on living products immediately. Notify us immediately of any shortages or damage, do not discard any damaged items or shipping cartons. The shipping company may require an inspection prior to approving any claim.
Visible Damage, Concealed Damage, and Missing Content Claims - Visible Damage is defined as any damage to the packaging that is identifiable without opening the package at the time of delivery.

These types of claims must be made directly to BuildASoil within 5 business days of delivery. Any claims made after that time cannot be honored. Please contact BuildASoil at 855-877-7645 or email Support@BuildASoil.com to make such a claim.
Incorrect Delivery and Lost Package Claims - Incorrect Delivery is defined as any incident where the driver delivers the package to the wrong address or individual. Lost Packages may occur in two ways. First, lost packages may occur when packages are not able to be located within the carrier's network. Second, a package may be considered lost when the carrier claims delivery was completed by leaving the package on the doorstep, but the customer cannot locate the package. Both incorrect delivery and lost package incidents are usually discovered through standard tracking of the package.
Claims for either of these problems must be made directly to BuildASoil upon discovery. No claims will be honored after 30 days from shipment date. Please contact BuildASoil at 855-877-7645 or email Support@BuildASoil.com to make such a claim.

If you're looking to mix your own soil you will need a Nutrient Kit and a Mineral Kit.
Save Money and Get both together in our Complete Soil Building Kit.
Notice: We've separated the minerals from this kit and removed the built in shipping cost, by doing so we're able to offer the lowest price our kits have ever been.
If you're looking for minerals see our Mineral Mix for Peat Moss. We separate the two so that the natural moisture in the rock dust doesn't effect the raw nutrients.
This Recipe is inspired by and credited to Mr. "ClackamasCoots" aka "LumperDawgz"
I have always wanted to offer a nutrient kit in the style of ClackamasCoots. This nutrient kit is proven. It works because it is such a simple and affordable starting point to base your soil from. Use this kit and our free DIY nutrient E-Book and you will have healthy soil and healthy plants.
Building your own soil? This is our preferred method...

Nutrient Kits Include:
(Use at 2.5 Cups Per cubic foot of soil or about 5-6 Tablespoon per gallon of soil)
1. Crustacean Meal - Crab and Shrimp
2. Kelp Meal - Thorvin Brand Ascophyllum Nodosum
3. Neem Cake/Karanja Cake - 70/30 Premium Organic Neem Cake Imported from India (West Coast Horticulture or Neem Resource)
4. Milled Malted Barley Organic 2 Row
(Our recipe is based on 1/2 cup per cubic foot with each ingredient and Milled Malted Barley at 1 cup per cubic foot)
Selecting the right Nutrient Kit:
5.33 lb Nutrient Kit (12 Cups)- Mixes into 6 Cubic Feet of Soil
8 lb Nutrient Kit (18 Cups)- Mixes into 9 Cubic Feet of Soil (1/3 Yard)
12 lb Nutrient Kit (28 Cups) - Mixes into 14 Cubic Feet of Soil (1/2 Yard)
24 lb Nutrient Kit (54 Cups) - Mixes into 27 Cubic Feet of Soil (1 Yard)
32 lb Nutrient Kit (72 Cups) - Mixes into 36 Cubic Feet of soil (1.38 Yards)
1,200 lb Nutrient Kit - Mixes into 50 Cubic Yards of Soil
What You'll Need To Get To Finish The Recipe:
1. Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss: Available in 2.0 Cubic Foot Bales and 3.8 Cubic Foot Bales at Home Depot and most gardening stores. Notice: The 2.0 Bale will fluff up to about 3.0 Cubic Feet and the 3.8 Bale will fluff to about 6 Cubic Feet.
2. High Quality Compost or Worm Castings: Search for local compost or castings on craigslist or order some here on our website.
3. Aeration Amendment: Something to aerate the soil like perlite does in normal potting mix. We like to use Pumice and Rice hulls but you can use whatever is available to you including perlite, rice hulls, lava rock, pumice etc.
You'll notice there isn't any High P ingredient like Soft Rock Phosphate or Fish Bone Meal and after speaking with Coot about this I realized a few things. This Kit has many ingredients that contain Phosphorous at normal levels which will not be harmful to Mycorrhizal fungi. High P amendments can have a negative effect on the soil Mycorrhizal life, for this reason Coot recommends using this recipe.
Mix and then let sit for 1-2 weeks before planting.
Here is the Mix as written by ClackamasCoots:
Why is this Nutrient Kit So important?
"A wonderful thing about a balanced, mineralized soil based on the soil's exchange capacity is that everything else becomes easier. The soil pH self-adjusts to its optimum, plant disease and insect problems largely disappear, water retention, drainage, soil texture, and rate of decay of organic matter all become self-regulating and automatic, weather permitting. The grower knows that the nutrients are in the crop because the nutrients are available in the soil. The soil life is active and healthy and helping to make these nutrients available, and the plants growing on this ideal soil have free-choice of any nutrient they want, in balance, a balance designed by intelligent science and observation."

This is a great fertilizer. My plants seem to love it immediately started putting more growth. Figs thrive in this living soil.
This is my first time using the Coots style recipe and so far the plants are loving it!
It's amazing and that's not just hype thats facts. Love everything I've gotten from BAS so far and intend to get more. The clover cover crop and rootwise microbe are both great products too. Easy to use, easy to store, and shipped to me without costing an arm and a leg.
Everything you need, just add every thirty days . And the plants love it too lol.
Hello, please feel free to publish any or none of this review.
I am a disabled veteran. Since last October I have been in the hospital 7 times and had 3 surgeries requiring extensive hospital stays. After my first surgery in Febuary, my physician cut me off of opioids after being on them for over 4 months. I begged him for a taper off 3 times and he refused. I wanted to die for over 2 months. At that point I decided to grow my own medicine. The last time I decided to do this was 20 years ago after my father committed suicide. He did it one week before I started medical school at Uniformed services in Maryland. It was a closet grow and I got about 6 ounces with hydro and a ridiculous HPS light. It changed my life.
In Febuary of this year when I decided to grow, I ordered a Hey Abby Soil edition that wasn't going to be ready until the end of August. In the meantime, I discovered AC Infinity. I cancelled my order and started buying a couple grow tents. Also in the hospital I started reading about living soil. I stared ordering Build a Soil products starting with Coots recipe. I can't believe the growth after just 3 weeks. I taught College level chemistry for almost a decade and I am beyond impressed with your products.
