This Specially Blended Composted Garden Soil has a very large array of fully-composted ingredients from nature so you get a nutrient-dense growing medium to give your plants and vegetables a broad mineral and nutrient spectrum, for the biggest, healthiest and fastest growing plants possible. Now with ORGANIC BIOCHAR and RUDOLPH STEINER'S BIODYNAMIC PREPARATIONS 500-508 you'll have the best soil ever. The healthier your soil, the healthier you will be.

You won't find bags of soil like this in garden centers. This soil is alive--rich, black and moist and contains earthworms, healthy soil microbes, hyphae fungi, beneficial nematodes and all the good stuff to make your plants healthy. All our ingredients are in their natural state as nature intended good soil to be. Frog Holler never adds ANY ingredients from dumpsters, unknown yard waste, mushroom compost, GMO vegetable waste, non-organic restaurants, garbage, or medical facility waste which may contain toxins, diseases, chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides, cardboard or compostable containers which have no nutritional value and may contain processing chemicals.

Every batch is tested for seed-starting and growing on. The finished product is a 100% nutrient-dense growing medium, not top soil. You can plant straight into it without burn and near 100% germination rate for starting seeds. It is not diluted with other soil or topsoil. For tomatoes that require no spraying or covering and resist diseases, use straight Biodynamic Garden Soil in a 12 inch by 12 inch base for each plant. This composted soil is also great for starting seeds and container gardening.
