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.
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.
Every product page shows an estimated delivery window based on current fulfillment and carrier schedules, so you know what to expect before you buy.
Free on eligible orders with two or more items. We select the carrier and method.
Standard ground service.
Order by noon MT on a business day and it ships the same day. Order after noon or on a weekend and it ships the next business day. If we miss that, we refund your shipping charge.
Faster transit with the same handling guarantee as Rushed Out the Door.
The fastest option we offer.
Bring your order confirmation and a valid ID.
For large or heavy orders.
For large or heavy orders, faster transit.
If a Rushed Out the Door or Get It Fast order does not ship on time, we refund your shipping charge. You do not need to ask. Business days are Monday to Friday, not counting holidays. The guarantee covers when your order leaves our building. Transit times are carrier estimates.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Some products ship directly from our vendor partners and show their own estimated ship dates on the product page. For questions about these, reach out through our contact page or the chat button on any page.
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 truckload (FTL) orders are custom quoted after checkout based on your location, order volume, and how the truck will be unloaded.
We email tracking as soon as your order ships. If it does not arrive, check buildasoil.aftership.com with your order details, or reach out through our contact page.
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.
Send all claims through our contact page. We do not process claims by phone.
Please report damaged or missing items as soon as you open your order, and no later than 30 days after delivery. Include:
Hold onto the packaging and any damaged items until the claim is resolved, since carriers may require an inspection.
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.
BuildASoil Nutrient Kit - Official ClackamasCoots Style is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Clackamas Coots style nutrient kit
The nutrient half of the Coot's classic recipe, premeasured for a third of a yard. You supply the peat, aeration, and compost. Pair it with the 27 lb Mineral Kit and the batch is complete. 10% of what you pay goes to the Coot himself. Read why.
One batch
Equal parts base mix, 3 cubic feet of each, plus one Nutrient Kit and one 27 lb Mineral Kit. Use the whole bag.
A 2 cubic foot compressed peat bale fluffs to about 3 cubic feet, which is exactly one batch worth of peat.
In the bag
Crab and shrimp shell. A slow, steady source of nitrogen and calcium, plus chitin for the soil food web to work through.
Ascophyllum nodosum. Potassium plus the broad spread of trace elements that come with ocean-grown seaweed.
The pressed seed meal left after oil extraction. Organic matter and nitrogen that breaks down over the life of the soil.
Milled organic sprouted barley, lentil, and corn. The Coot developed this blend himself and it is the ingredient that makes this his recipe.
What is not in the bag. No soft rock phosphate, no fish bone meal, no heavy phosphorus inputs. That is on purpose. The phosphorus in this recipe comes from what is naturally in the ingredients, which is how the Coot builds soil.
Rates
The rate is 2 cups per cubic foot of base mix. One cup weighs 6 to 8 ounces. Building less than 9 cubic feet? Measure what you need and keep the rest sealed and dry for the next batch.
| Batch size | Nutrient Kit | Mineral Kit |
|---|---|---|
| 1 gallon | About 4 tablespoons | About 1/2 cup |
| 1 cubic foot | 2 cups | 4 cups |
| 3 cubic feet | 6 cups | 12 cups |
| 9 cubic feet | 1 bag (8 lb) | 1 bag (27 lb) |
| 18 cubic feet | 2 bags | 2 bags (27 lb) |
| 27 cubic feet (1 yard) | 3 bags | 1 bag (80 lb) |
How to build it
Pairs with
This bag is half of the recipe. The 27 lb Mineral Kit is the other half: basalt for trace minerals, plus gypsum and oyster shell flour for calcium and to balance the acidity of the peat. They ship as two bags so moisture in the rock dust stays away from the raw nutrients until you mix.
Want both in one order? The Coot Approved Complete Soil Building Kit includes the nutrients and minerals together, sized by peat bale.

Clackamas Coot spent decades teaching growers how to build soil that feeds itself, and he gave nearly all of it away for free on forums, in videos, and in conversations with anyone who asked. A lot of what this community knows about living soil traces back to him, including a lot of what we know at BuildASoil.
He is retired now. This kit is authorized by him and built to his recipe, including the Gnarly Barley he developed with us. 10% of the income from every Nutrient Kit goes directly to him. If his work helped your garden, this is a direct way to give some back.
Questions
9 cubic feet of finished soil, about 67 gallons, when you add it to 9 cubic feet of base mix along with one 27 lb Mineral Kit.
Yes. Use 2 cups per cubic foot and store the rest sealed and dry. It keeps until your next batch or your next round of recycling old soil.
Yes. This bag is the nutrient half of the recipe. The Mineral Kit supplies the rock dust and calcium, and it balances the acidity of the peat. Without it the recipe is incomplete.
Rock dust holds moisture. Keeping it apart from the raw nutrients until mixing day keeps both in better shape on the shelf.
Yes. The rest gives the fresh amendments time to break down before roots move in. Keep the pile slightly moist and turn it once if you can.

Its been a verry easy process throughout grow, havent even topdressed at all just water
After years of fighting to grow cannabis this is Amazing I don't understand why everyone hasn't done this it like an easy button on growing cannabis. I have tried athena, advance nutes with DWC HYDRO, coco, and a fox farm ocean floor with happy frog fabric pots and grobuckets always had some issues the only issue I had was crazy over grow in my earthbox ( he did say that could be an issue but thought it was sells tactics.. it wasn't!!!)followed the plan only tap water and rootwise full setup and just got my boxes setup for next year.
If you are thinking about running the clackaman coot recipe do it very easy to do !! Would also recommend Earthbox .
Delivered fast and is exactly as described by seller! BuildASoil is the best
All I gotta say is game changer 😁🙏
I love this mix. Nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, minerals , sulfur and enzymes. All in one! This will get any “soil” ready to grow some nice plants.
