All BuildASoil reviews

I use this on every watering with great results. I use about half the recommended amount and it lasts forever.

Foliar or root drench ,the plants always respond . Bag lasts a long time ,it does turn into a solid towards the bottom of the bag . Tap a chunk with a hammer and add a teaspoon size chunk per gallon ,dissolves easy .

This will always be in the mix when I'm mixing up some new soil. It doesn't take much, and it lasts a while, so it is very economical to use. Along with WDG3000, I've had no noticeable issues. BTW, the bag will be about to pop because they obviously stuff it as full as possible.

Needless to say initial investment is up there but is def worth the money and lasts longer than u initially think, plus go's a long way

No more poking the soil with XLUX soil moisture meter that's one of the best manual ones which doesn't have any batteries but very accurate and very reliable device. Tried using the bluemat $98 sensor but for the price I expected it to have more features unfortunately, it only shows the moisture level but pressing the button that's on the unit and has no app or Bluetooth or Wi-Fi capabilities but this Ecowitt WH51 (& WH51L) models are godsend and everyone who wants to dial in their watering habits and make it super simple and extremely accurate, then look no further and grab yourself up to eight of these sensors that would connect to one GW1100 Wi-Fi gateway that connect to Wi-Fi and to your app and you have access to view the current moisture level right on your app as well as their website and you can set up alerts to come into your phone's app and to your email whenever the soil moisture level reaches your specified level which is 25% for me but you can set it up however you like, notifies when the battery reaches your specified battery level which is for me 0.3 volts, whenever the room where this gateway is located reaches a specific temperature or humidity because it has that temperature and humidity sensor on it, whenever your sensor or gateway gets disconnected or loses internet, and the best thing about this is the sensors work on a single AA battery that lasts easily over a year. A full battery has 1.6 volts which is fully charged. I have had the sensors for 7 months and my battery level in all 12 sensors 1.5 volts which is mind-blowing that I still have so much battery power left after more than half a year. I really don't have enough words to describe how useful and accurate and easy to use this system really is. Like I said, hands down the best gadget for your moisture level needs in today's market and surprisingly very affordable. I noticed someone left a review that they don't recommend these devices because apparently he couldn't connect the hub/gateway and obviously couldn't connect the sensors to it and left 1 star and a bad review saying that the company is located in China and he couldn't get anyone on the phone to help him. I do agree that it would have been better if they had a phone number or a live chat to be able to help right away instead of back and forth emails, however, whenever I had questions I sent an email and always got a response under 24 hours and it's pretty detailed and easy to understand. On top of that folks at Build-A-Soil I'm sure would be Happy to try and guide that individual to help him connect his device if he only gave them a chance to do so. On top of that, there are a few videos through Google from other people showing how they set up their device. Plus there is an owner's manual that's also pretty easy to understand and it's a pretty simple setup. It clearly shows pictures and text on how to plug in the gateway and hold the button on the bottom until it starts blinking fast at which point you go to your Wi-Fi and choose the indicated channel and then once connected just switch back to your original Wi-Fi channel and voila, the setup is complete. It shouldn't take more than 2 minutes to connect the Wi-Fi and then 2 minutes per each sensor by inserting the battery and within 90 seconds it automatically shows up on the app and then you put it in water to make sure it reads moisture between 90 and 100% to make sure it works and once you see the moisture level go up between those numbers then the sensor is set up and move on to the next sensor repeat those same steps and then rename each sensor so you know which sensor is in which pot/bed, field location, lawn location, etc... I think Jeremy and the BaS team for introducing me to this sensor because I am not sure I would have ever found out about it if not for BuildASoil. I bought the bluemat sensor like a week before I purchased these Ecowitt sensors and after using these for one week I still had time to return the bluemat and I'm glad I did because there's just no comparison, it's like night and day. The bluemat is good when combined with their automated irrigation devices which is what it was really designed for to make sure the irrigation doesn't add too much water or too little but regardless if you're using automated irrigation system or not, you should absolutely get these Ecowitt sensors because they will make your life so much easier and instead of poking your soil with other sensors or lifting your pots everyday which is somewhat accurate but no way near accurate as the accuracy you get with these sensors, and all you do is wake up and open up the app and look at your sensors' moisture levels and immediately know what needs to be watered or soon will need to be watered and no need to waste time to check each container and you can confidently move on with your day and do the things you need to do without worrying that the soil dries out or irrigation is adding too much water, etc... Every single person I talk to who grows something regardless of what it is, I recommend these sensors to every single one of them and every single one of them who listened to me and purchased it, thanks me every time we talk 😂. Even an older 73 years old man who's NOT technology savvy was able to set up for of his devices and the gateway from the first try. He was really paranoid and was worrying that he will have a problem setting it up because he hates the phone and all those applications and computers and prefers using pen and paper lol but after setting up these units he was so happy and so grateful he listened to me and like I said every single time we speak he thanks me with a very long and genuine speech how I made his life so much better because he was constantly over watering his plans and sometimes waited too long to water and the plants would obviously start drooping and that was really frustrating him but now his life is super simple and his watering habits are spot-on and he told me he hadn't had a single drooping or wilting problem and he is able to finally keep his plants healthy from seed to harvest. This made me feel so good to be able to help a guy out who had so much trouble with watering his plants. I know this was a very long review but I did it on purpose in hopes that this review will be very helpful some and will also change their life for the better 😉👌😎🪴 Happy Growing and stay lit 🗣️💨

Very consistent, easy to dose, and a little goes a long way so it lasts a long time

4⭐️ , came as promised (no wheels listed but still a bummer). Growth has been good so far and very hands off especially since I placed it outside and there has been rain. Only filled reservoir one time and top watered at transplant in the 3 weeks since I have had this. Wish it was a little cheaper and the shipping was a bit costly but I am happy with the construction and hope it lasts a long time!

I’ve used this for years , and it’s been the most consistent and longest lasting product they sell. I use it in my indoor and outdoor beds. It lasts forever. The best

My plants have loved this product! It really took me to the next level and it’s easy which is important to me. One bag lasts forever which saves me so much money as a woman on a budget. Love Jeremy and the build a soil family of products.

This is an excellent product for a surfactant. I've used Yucca in the past, and felt this was superior! Guaranteed 20% Saponins, but I believe that's a "minimum guaranteed %" , and natural strength, that came out around 26% Saponins! So 20% is the minimum guaranteed, which is great, but it often turns out purer. Much thanks to BAS for another great product that's lasted me very well!

Great product for living soils and it’s really easy to use. It seems like it lasts sooooo long, not the best news when your selling it but awesome when your buying it🤓

Can be used all through life. Helps as a seed starter as well as a bloom booster. Very gentle and cost effective.

Amazing product, first time user of any wetting agent and this has made watering my soil much better. I opted for the 20 instead of the 60 and the 20 foams up nicely but I will later try the 60 just to see any differences mostly in how long it lasts me.

This is some good stuff, with my small grow it lasts for quite some time too!!

I always use the w when I’m mixing up anything but plain water for my plants it lasts a long time as well very strong stuff

I love this soil for starting seeds. I am glad it lasts a long time because the shipping is too high (not BAS fault). I think vacation this year has to take me through Colorado, so I can load my truck with all the stuff where I know shipping is high. I may have to buy Take N Bake or the Coots package when I need to fill many 15 to 30 gallon containers.

I’m just now having to change my 1st 6” that I bought back in 2019

Love the extra Brix. Quart lasts a long time.

This salad mix is fresh and so tasty! It’s harvested weekly, so it’s the freshest mix around and it lasts a long time in the refrigerator. One taste and you’ll be hooked!

By far the best wetting agent I’ve ever used. 1/8 teaspoon lasts me up to 2-3 gallons.

Awesome humidifier for a home grow. The reservoir lasts a good while in my space, accessory attachment allows you to modify the height of the vapor dispersal and the swiveling dual spout gives the option to split or focus the direction of the vapor diffusion. Also, the vapor comes out very fine with no spatter or noise. It is very quiet and the reservoir is easy to remove and replace. Some points where I’ve had to improvise: the digital display is kinda bright so it will need to be covered during dark hours. The reservoir can be a little bit unwieldy when refilling it so I’ve resolved to bringing the water to the humidifier, rather than carrying the reservoir to and from the spigot. Also, the available settings for automatic RH are programmed in increments of 5%, which in a small tent can be a little drastic at times- not a big deal if you’re running a good environment but something to be noted. All in all, none of these things are insurmountable issues given the general quality of the unit. Definitely recommend!

I bought this bottle over a year ago and I’m not halfway through it. A little goes a long way, and it’s a very effective wetting agent even at small doses.

Or so it feels like it. Super fast shipping too.

While I wish you would get more for your dollar, the small pack still lasts me at 4 months. This is the icing on the cake, my plants love it. Really promotes that healthy green I love to see.

Timber is the best hands down when it comes to a quality build that lasts a long time, I had had zero issues with these lights.
