Great soil! Never go back to anything else.

Eat your Wheaties if you pick up containers to check for watering over 20 gallons, other then that this stuff is amazing, buy some craft blend Q-20 and recharge is all you need, but the coco nut and alavera powders add flavor in my opinion, I also add gnarley barley, kashie blend and build a bloom and veg in small amounts

I was skeptical to try BuildASoil for a while, but after pulling the trigger and just going for it I can say without a doubt it is the BEST potting soil straight from a bag I have ever used. $55 per cubic foot bag may seem steep but considering you need 3 for a stable, living soil environment, its worth the price. Its a little hot for starting plants but vigorous plants have no issue, even from seed.
I have the healthiest plants Ive ever had from seed, and with straw mulch amd a cover crop with Kashi gold and rootwise you cannot go wrong. I know its a water only mix but I use it in smaller containers, which will require top dressings, as hearty feeders will deplete food quickly!
Everything this company sells is no frill no fuss and only what you need to maximize your gardens potential, all you gotta do is follow the instructions and let nature do the rest!

Just pick up the last of the 3.0 at my grow shop best soil I used so consistent with blue at meters and lots of fertility

Great soil! You have to maintain very little to turn out with a great grow.
David T.
Very impressed with the quality of the 3.0 soil. Very nice texture and seems full of amendments!

i have used this product in all my grows, performed beyond my wildest dreams of water only

Have had no issues thus far great growth has a great balance of nutrients that even In smaller pots last a good amount of time before having to feed or up pot /top dress, and compared to the fox farm I used to use this is a lot more consistent better aeration definitely recommend.

Excellent product as always thank you

I’ve run it with water only before and took it to harvest with no problem.

Perfect soil with just the right amendments will definitely order again.

Love everything about this soil. Holds perfect amount of moisture and is hard to over water. Plants look so happy from clone to full size plant. Never had issues as far as too much nutrition or not enough.

Went from another brand of "living soil" to using the Build A Soil 3.0 and its a night and day difference in plant health.

This is my third run with your 3.0. I won't use anything else now that I've seen the results. Best soil out there.

I've grown all sorts of different ways from super soil in the bottom of holes in corn fields in the old days, to DWC, and I never felt as connected to a grow as this one using living soil. This 3.0 is perfect for someone wanting to start
Just get a big enough pot and bam your ready for your first run. Even though I'd suggest some craft blend and buildaflower for the flip 😉

Richard C.

LANCE M.
Love the product seeds popped within four days and everything is thriving. I ordered the top dress and the straw and I’m excited to use it all.

Best looking autos in the last 4 yrs!

Best results with the least amount of work. Aloud me to tinker in the amendments for the feeder roots if I wanted but it didn’t need it one bit. As a disabled vet it takes a little extra effort on my part to get in there and get the work done, but it’s very rewarding seeing what can be accomplished getting in there everyday multiple times a day. Big beds or SIP are very easy tools to get awesome results and the 3.0 blend is just plug and play.

This has been the easiest grow and by far my personal best. Getting into growing was intimidating at first especially with how many bottled nutrient lines are out there. Ran a whole grow with just water and four bags to fill up two 15 gallons. I used tap water from my sink and still got amazing results for my limited set up.

I can't knock build a soil at all. This is some pretty amazing soil. I can run photoperiod and not give them a single thing for 30 to 50 days in then top dress with craft blend and ride it on out. I do use some teas and sweeteners but all in all build a soil contains all you really need to be successful at this.

I wont use anything else BAS makes and or has the best growing products available (.)
Charles A.
Will buy again. Great with Fox Farm Ocean Forest
Ty
All the blends they sell are so good. Amazing products!
Coker
Always a perfect grow when used properly.

I am pleased to find no pests as I would expect from castings or compost containing soils . I can also report vegetables grown show no signs of deficiency and are developing at top speed.

All my plants loved the 3.0
Best potting soil out there.
I’m saving the soil and reammending it again next season!

When I got the two bags here of the light soil and the 3.0 Potting soils, I decided to try the 3.0 potting soil for my fairy magnolia, given his condition, as it had been dropping leaves most every single day and sometimes 203 of them a day, and since I did repot it in their soil from that awful Dr Earth’s Potting. soil, my fairy magnolia has stopped, dropping leaves, even though the majority of the leaves left are brown and even heavily brown on the outside, but now I’ve got two leaves and a third one on separate branches that are advancing in growth, so it is looking much better now, and I will know more about its recovery in the days ahead since we are now passed the winter solstice and the days up here will have soon, fast increasing daylight hours when the sun or bright days will be getting longer and longer and that’s when I really expect to see a real turnaround, and provided that happens, I will gladly give you a response back about it, but at least it now is a lot more hopeful than it was in that terrible soil!

Amazing product from a company that really cares to get it right! You have a new member of the tribe.🙏🏾

Been using 3.0 for a few years. No contest, no brainer.. I’ve tried several other blends and mixed my own and have been happy, but the 3.0 is on point every time.
Korey T.
I’ve tried others, this one is always on point. Fantastic in beds
Nicholas B.
great for my 3x3 living soil bed
William N.
My first time with living 3.0 soil. Put it together per BuildASoil Classic Program and just planted a Seedling.
Wish me luck 💪 🌱

lynn s.
This 3.0 is the bomb. Love it!
Joseph S.

I have been growing indoors since 2020 using a soil mix I made up myself and amended between plantings. This performed well for me for a couple years but my soil slowly degraded with each growth cycle. I decided to try BuildaSoil 3.0. Fantastic look and feel to this blend. It just looks fertile. Started five plants and will monitor the results but I'm expecting to switch to this soil for all future grows.

The stuff is amazing! My plants love it and it's worth every penny. Thank you Build A Soil for making everything so easy and user friendly! I will stay loyal to your soil!!!!
Aaron A.
Strong soil and great longevity when using mulch.
Justin J.
Hands down the best soil I’ve used
david z.
Just transplanted into 5 gallon fabric pot, soil looks great, plant seems to like, but only been a week so far so only giving 4 stars till I see final results.
Ricky M.
Your soil was recommended by a buddy, it's been great. Wish I was able to find it locally.
