The complete soil building kit - Coot was amazing The soil I created from it smelled so fresh and fragrant and it looked amazing. My grow started out fine and then I had a nap infestation. So things didn't come out exactly the way I wanted but now I'm looking for an entire kit that I can automate and start again. One that I don't have to open the door for more than once a week or two weeks.

It looks amazing,have not had a chance to start yet but am excited.I’ve been a grower since 1982.I have been running the True living organic system with really good results but when I stumbled upon your stystem and the amount of support that you offer I knew that I had found what i have been looking for ,a more scientific approach.I’m going to run them side by side and compare I will let you know how it turns out.

Mixed in with peat and local compost last year. Live in the city Soni have a container garden and my garden is thriving second year. Haven't had to fertilize really. Would recommend for building new potting soil. I went to source all the dry amendments but this is all you need and a fraction of buying all the ingredients separate.

Great experience being able to mix your own soil and seeing it come to life a few days later. The pre'mixed bags make it as simple as dump and mix, then water. 10/10

So I just mixed my first true batch of soil a few days ago and I can't wait to see how it does. So used some local cinders and lava rock, the buildasoil mineral and nutrient kit, my own worm castings, and some local leaf debris that has breaking down since the last fire decades upon decades ago. I'm excited.

I wanted to buy enough 3.0 to fill a few planters but the shipping made the soil cost prohibitive for me and there are not any vendors in my area so I could not take that path either. This kit changes that for me though, and while not BAS 3.0, it is not Miracle Grow and I know what my soil contain, which is nice. There are so many "organic" soils to buy from the BB stores that I would not trust, it's nice to have an alternative that I can trust. I will update this review once I complete my current run using this mix. THANKS BAS!

I had an amazing grow with lots of microbial life but unfortunately all of my ratios of NPK tested extremely low for the 6 Cubic feet kit. Thus, I had a vey low and poor yield. Great for vegging and cloning though because of the high potential for microbial life. Flavor was okay but nothing amazing.

I Received my kit in relatively good time. Two days ago I finally got around to building my ‘Coot Approved’ soil, and it was such an wholesome experience! I felt like I was back in my roots…doing what I love. I would’ve purchased add’l products, but in some instances the shipping cost was 3x the cost of the product itself. Unfortunately, I wont be able to use my soil anytime soon. I was expecting my seeds this wk, but was just notified by the carrier that the seed-bank used, that my pkg. was redirected due to error in shipping address. I wish I knew before purchasing, that my seeds would be coming from Spain (didn’t find out until after I receive tracking #). Anyways, to end on a great note. I just found your channel about 3wks ago, and have binge watching your videos since. Keep putting out awesome vids!

I got this kit in the mail after I seen Jeremy do this in season 3 on YouTube and then seen his results and knew I had to take this route myself. It was a process and I took my time mixing over a few days time and then let set for a week under a tarp. I was able to get some good pics of mycelium. I then used the majority of the soil in my 3x3 where I planted cover crop and let set another week before planting into. So far so good and I must say I’ve never had more confidence in my soil knowing I built it myself. I’ve been growing for 3 years and with this grow I feel more excited than my first. Thank you Jeremy and the Build a Soil Team!

I purchased the coot approved complete soil building mix for the 14 cu ft recipe. It came with one bag of nutrients and one bag of minerals. I decided to save some money buy purchasing the bulk of my soil materials locally, but went with coot approved recipe for the nutrients and minerals. This was my first time mixing a large amount of soil, so wanted to get it right. Down the road I plan on buying the ingredients in bulk individually for reamending the soil.

I am a vegetable & flower gardener. I have been attempting to do a living soil method indoors. I grow indoors year round since I can control the environment. However, I have been frustrated by the poor choices of amendments on amazon and big box stores for years. Once I found the BAS youtube channel doing searches for living soil, I was literally blown away at the amount of Free knowledge Jeremy passed on. While I don't grow cannabis, yet, still not legal in my state, I decided to replicate in large part the BAS way/methodology for my veggies. I have never had my seedlings take off so quickly after transplanting from seed starter mix. I am shocked at the difference. I can't wait to harvest my peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, basil, parsley, mint, etc. I can't wait to transplant my flowers and lime tree cuttings (yes you can clone a tree :) ) when spring finally comes.
