Your friend sent you
$10 off your first order. And a program worth joining.
Somebody who grows in living soil thought you should too. Your $10 is waiting on your account. Here is how to use it, and what you are joining.
Claiming your $10
Three things to know
It is tied to you
The coupon only works on the account that received it, so create your account with the same email your friend sent the link to. That is what keeps referral rewards real.
It works on almost everything
Amendments, soil, castings, teas, gear. Your $10 works on the Loyalty Collection, the same collection every reward in the program spends on. Open it and see.
Then the points start
Your first order earns 2 points on every dollar, and your account gets 100 points just for existing. Points never expire. Everything below is what you just joined.

What BuildASoil is
We make living organic soil and the amendments that feed it, in Montrose, Colorado, and we have spent thirteen years on YouTube showing exactly how, including the parts that did not work. The idea is simple: feed the soil, not the plant. Build soil that is alive, water it, and let biology do the feeding. No bottles, no schedules, no guessing.
Start with a soil, not a bottle
If you are new to living soil, start with a complete soil and water it. That is the whole first season. Our support team will point you at the right one for what you are growing.
We publish what is in the bag
Ingredients, batch tests, and lab results are on the product pages. If a number is not there, ask and we will show you.
How it works
Three steps, no fine print
Earn
Creating your account earns your first 100 points before you buy a thing. Then every dollar you spend earns 2 points, on regular prices and sale prices alike. Reviews, referrals, and your birthday add more.
Climb
Your lifetime spend moves you up five tiers. Higher tiers earn faster, shop sales early, and get free soil tests and gear. Tiers are permanent.
Spend
Redeem points like cash on almost anything in the store, or trade them for real rewards: sticker packs, rolling papers, soil tests, free product.
Earning

Spending
Points work like cash
Dollars off
Redeem in $10 steps, up to your full balance, on anything in the Loyalty Collection. Pick the amount at checkout. No minimum order, no cap on how much of your order points can cover.
Real rewards
Sticker packs, rolling papers, a Logan Labs soil test, free product, and tier-locked merch. Product rewards ship free with any order, or grab one on its own and just cover shipping.
Where points spend. Points redeem on the Loyalty Collection, and it covers most of what we make. Browse it and see for yourself. Everything storewide still earns full points, whatever you buy.
During a sitewide sale, points coupons take the weekend off. The sale price is the discount. You keep earning points on every sale order, and the rewards shop stays open the whole time.
The rules
All of them, in one place
- Points never expire.
- Tiers are based on lifetime spend and are permanent.
- You earn points on sale prices too.
- No minimum order to redeem. No cap on redemption.
- One discount per order: points or a promo code, not both.
- Points coupons pause during sitewide sales. Earning never pauses.
- Points spend on the Loyalty Collection. Everything storewide earns points.
- Reward codes only work on the account that earned them.
Questions
What people ask us
I had points in the old program. What happened to them?
They are still yours. When we moved from 1 point per dollar to 2, we doubled every existing balance so nothing lost value. Log in and check.
My points expired under the old program. Can I get them back?
Points do not expire anymore. If you think your old balance is missing something, email support@buildasoil.com with your account email and we will look into it.
Why did you change from 1 point per dollar to 2?
The new tiers earn more as you climb, and building that in meant changing the base. A point is now worth 2.5 cents, so 2 points per dollar is the same 5% back as before, and Platinum and OG earn 3.
How do I know what tier I am in?
Log in and open the rewards panel. Your tier, your points, and how far you are from the next tier are all there. If you have been ordering from us for years, your history already counts.
What can I spend points on?
Everything in the Loyalty Collection. Open it and look around. Every order you place earns points no matter what is in it.
Do I need to do anything to join?
Create an account. That is it. If you already have one, you are already in.
Get started
Your next order already counts
Create an account and 100 points are yours before you buy a thing. Place an order and they start stacking. They will be waiting whenever you come back.
