y’all are truly the greatest source on independent gardening. instead of marketing your mixes you teach everyone how to basically make the products with the knowledge passed on to you. this is why your growth is so exponential and why i will be a lifelong customer. thank you and the build-a-soil family for everything y’all do for the community. much love.
If y'all only knew how much these videos have changed my life in the past year it would really blow your minds. I really want to share my story about what has happened to me in the past 5 years but this is a comment section lol. All i'm gonna say is that because of the knowledge you've instilled I've been able to go from a hospital bed on life support to growing and helping other people with cancer get better. I owe u guys my life in some weird cosmic way. I'm sorry I don't want to sound melodramatic it's just the honest truth💚💯

Day 60! Two earth boxes and a 30 gallon. Looking like they’ll go till day 75 every time I walk into my room a can’t help but smile ! Thanks BAS Family. Truly the best team.
I'm in texas got better bud than anyone around and I'm using all this knowledge on my fruit trees last year grew some huge pears and peaches thanks to you guys
"In life I've noticed that when things are given away for free, often times they're disregarded, or that they're not appreciated." Same goes with that free wisdom.
I just appreciate that you present like you care about your prospective customers and your audience. It matters more than it might seem in the present moment.
WOWZER! Searching for organic rice hulls I stumbled on this company to order from. Seeing they have a youtube channel I had to check it out. I am blown away. As a compost "queen" I compost wherever I go and compost everywhere and in multiple ways. As a "master gardener" of over 60 years I've learned a little-lot and love sharing. So I teach compositing and vermiculture and now here I find I have so much more to learn. I love that! Thank you! I'm grateful for my stumbling... I'll be back!
Man Jeremy, It gets me nearly choked up but I do thank you and the team for being so thorough and releasing things like the recipes and schedule for free.. it eats me up inside how many people only have greed motivating them, and it’s truly a needed reminder seeing there’s people out there with the medical scene still at heart. Continue so long as it’s fulfilling to do so cause the impression is warmingly felt and cherished by us🤙
You seem like a GREAT and TRUSTWORTHY guy, loving, caring and full of positivity. You are a GREAT motivator and life changing. Listening to you could turn doubt into certainty, pessimism into optimism. THANK YOU for being the person you are and the information you share!!!!!!!!
Been using coots since 2014 when i found off GC forums. Its so great to see this video. Amazing for newbies right here. If you have any interest in home gardening, be it medicinal or food and flowers this is great. And this video makes it soooo much easier to understand. Its amazing how far thibgs have come in 8 years. From taking notes from people who posted recipe online and having no idea what i was doing, trying to even source the ingredients to today when you have someone physically showing you while explaining every detail and how to source it. This is one of the best videos ive seen on how to build your own soil. Absolutly killing brotha thank you for all the hard work.
Clackamas has taught me a lot. Including using Neem and karanja mixed in my soil, and I started a worm bin. The results in my garden are hard to argue with!
Last year in my first grow I watch a bunch of different people grow a bunch of different ways and I tried to combine them to make it work for me. That didn't work to well over the past month I have watched all your episodes and I really like how you explain everything. This year is going to be my first year trying to grow organic I am really excited! I love this channel you and your wife are so informative! I do both indoor and outdoor grows and this channel has been so helpful!
Undoubtedly in the top tier of soil mixes notably because it's all natural, breathable, vermi active, and fungi food...man..this is what brings on some bud color I would bet..been on this track but this is fine tuning for total plant health..awesome..Thanks 👍
Thorough, Thoughtful, and intentional. Thank you for wonderful practical tips, "go at your own pace....medical patients". Thx peace bro your wealth of knowledge is empowering independence and health.
Bruh I was on the GC forums right there with him, chunk, and all the other organic gurus. I still go back to the old forum threads instead of looking for new opinions lol nothing has caught up since
Brother amazing information as always. One quick tip- while mixing the substrate get another guy to help out, hold the tarp at the four ends and just pull it towards the middle...
@Clackamas coot that's awesome; that's what i feel is different with the living soil community vs other often toxic social media etc - we're all actually helping each other! Ha, I truly wouldn't have gotten into building soil, worm bins etc without finding you and Jeremy's stuff; it was way too daunting a task! Thanks for freely providing an easy way to grow anything well!
I know this is an old video, but I appreciate what you do so much Jeremy. I've spent so much time going down the rabbit hole that one Coot interview on the FCP's channel lead me down. I've tried telling people these ways and telling people to look up Clackamascoot and seeing how simple organics really is. When someone with a big platform and the ability to communicate things in the simplest of ways is spreading knowledge like this, it just hits so much harder. Appreciate you big dog. and shout out Lumperdawg :)
them rice hulls are what ive been looking for. organic source of silica.... really helps plants in "harsh" conditions by helping with uptake of nutrients and what not, here in the desert the heat stress takes quite a toll. thanks dude. i will incorporate rice-hulls!
They work great, but be careful about the source. Lots of pesticides and herbicides are used in commercial rice farming. Those from Indonesia tend to have a higher PPM of rat poison.
I have said this before, you produce some of the clearest and most informative content on this platform. A good teacher makes the subject enjoyable to follow and easy to absorb and you certainly do that sir. Thank you for sharing your knowledge without a paywall.
I've found the easiest way to mix bulk ingredients is in a used cement mixer with variable speed control. It does all the hard work , easy to dump in to what ever container you desire and easy to rinse out, ready for the next batch. Cheers, BudsMoran
I use alot egg shells and coffee grains in my worm castings. Im an east coaster so its hard find certain things. We got our first grow shop here in va but it carries mostly hydro stuff. They have total of 7 down to earth products and thats it. Needless to say i hate shipping things across country but im about just order from you guys. Much love and respect bro
Token Rhyme in Midlothian (near Richmond) has 3.0 and light soils. They also have other BAS products. I’m in Va. Beach and it’s either cross country ship or them (about two hour drive for me). Love BAS products!
Excellent content! Been waiting for this one to drop. I have been growing in the Take And Bake for almost a year. I ordered it on March 28th last year. On my third run. It is close to the Coot recipe and follows all the parameters that Ras Truth explained in his blog post. Getting ready to help a newbie to start their no-till. This recipe and volume is perfect. Thank you many times over.
Respect Jeremy!!!! The video is amazing , but I want 2 point out the best piece of knowledge in this video . Thank you for pointing out it doesn't take using these exact products , the knowing u can use wht ever u have no matter where ur at ! Together we can build anything , keep fighting the good fight ! Good vibes 2 everyone
You all at BAS are very generous with your knowledge. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to bring all of us the best of the best... THCanks and Blessings from mine to yours, Martin
The last few vids have been Packed with knowledge you just save ppl getting disheartened from not drying the flower right thanks this is one you can keep coming back to 💯💯💯💯💯
Another excellent source of chitin is the clipped ends of mushrooms, what us mycologists refer to as the butts of the fruits. Not on do these clipped ends and a host of different nutrients that were mined by the mycelium Their decomposition attracts mycorrhiza bacteria and fungi and is no different from using Azos
If I have hundreds of bird's nest fungi agrowing everywhere in my notil bed, is this an indicator that chitin is getting bioavailable after mushroom's death?
so you saying if i use the ends of mushrooms that are growing in my worm bin they would attract mycorrhiza bacteria scores. i use JLF ways of farming/growing it works amazing with the microbes and fungi mycelium activity. organic growing is amazing
No different from using Azos is kind of reaching… youre talking about direct spores of a certain species vs “hoping” the mushroom butts attract what you need
Bro I love the attention to detail of everything you do in your instructional videos!! It makes it easier for a dumb ass like me to understand!! Lol Thank you 🙏
I am finally all caught up! Watched every episode and just want to say thank you for all that you do! Really advancing all the knowledge in this field for the benefit of the people!
Supplemental - I'm a soil scientist by trade. You're nailing the philosophy I've grown in my head. I love building earth. Happy healthy and prosperous growing 💚👍🤘🤙🖖
This just keeps getting better, just wish I had that many castings,but then again Colorado worm castings has me covered and top notch at that yAy now let’s see what kind of spam I win at build a soil today and just simply commenting on a video, if only winning the lottery was that easy haha
Jeremy, I'd like to express my appreciation for your videos. In my opinion, your vids are the most instructional and well presented on YT. I can't thank you enough for all your effort in producing these. This, in particular, was a very valuable vid for me. I've been reluctant to purchase the BaS soils due to the shipping charges to the NE US. This vid allows us to build a fantastic soil with local material and fine tuning with the smaller quantities of BaS ingredients, making the creation of a quality soil more affordable. Fantastic! On another note, on my second grow, this time using BaS Build a Bloom, coconut milk powder, worm castings, and Craft Blend and my plants seem to be Very happy. Using these products makes it very easy to keep up with their nutritional needs. Thanks again Jeremy.
Thanks for breaking down the Coots soil mix 2.0 in detail. I have been using his og mix 50/50 with sub cool mix and swear by it. I grow cover crop for first 3wks or as long as I can wait to plant my ladies in beds. Hard to wait each run even tho I have been growing my meds for 12 yrs. Each batch gets me excited and brings joy to my life. Thanks again for all u do!
It’s amazing how passionate you are about the soil & the microbial life it creates & how much knowledge you have on just how living soil works, it’s so fascinating and I’ve watched your build a soil videos too & that’s not even the 10x10 plants grow part of the channel that’s awesome so I’m trying to absorb as much experience & information as I possibly can bc they just passed the legislation for non commercial growing in New Jersey, I think it’s 5 plants per person per household and I want to to make the most of it😊
Dankie! (Thank you). Awesome channel! Really appreciate the pointing out of mistakes... thus we learn. Your comment about people disregarding the value of things when it's free or easy is SO on point! It's a fantastic sense of achievement reaching your goal when you worked at it!
Bro I really appreciate you sharing all your knowledge. That's one of the reason I love your channel and your products, not to mention gorgeous plants lol.
Awesome video! Thank you Jeremy & Clackamas Coot (cool nickname) for working together and sharing your knowledge. You both give this plant the 'coot', or the 'love' it deserves imo. Whatever a 'coot' or clackamas is there's definitely lots of 'love' (or coot) going on that's for sure?
I swear I’ve heard that opening sound design ID - minus the jar lid screwing off. I believe Amazon has the same one. I could be wrong. Otherwise, I wish I had that much space to work with, a dream come true. Super awesome work and yes, the shoveling is how I injured my arm. How did you know…hahahaha
When I was growing indoors in a house i liked to fill as many totes as needed with equal parts then dump each one into a sole lone empty tote, the dumping action of each one basically mixes each one up, and you can go back and forth between the empty one and the totes filled with equal parts. Then at the end you can dump all of them into one pile and barely have to mix anything, on a tarp or garbage bins or whatever next to your grow for minimal transfer. Was cleanest way I could mix in small quarters.
I just made a decent amount of soil sourced some from you guys & some from a local nursery garden center near me i got the moss from them I did do the mineral amendments & clacamus kootz recipe nutrient mix and rice wholes from you I didn’t have access to pumice so I used those hydro clay puffs I may order some from you soon & as I re-amend the soil later on i will maybe remove some of the clay and use the pumice instead, I have a worm bin so I am using some of my own worm castings so it’s looking good I added my own compost as well I’ve made about 55 ish gallons of soil mix I think I probably might need the kelp meal, insect frass and biochar but I haven’t tried growing anything just yet but I’ll keep you posted as I do 😊
I got a cool little idea for you Jeremy. You should get a few bags of KIS water only soil and do a side by side test with your soil that you made here in this video.
Any type of grower can be confident in using your products and recipes. The detail and the amount of testing you do can ensure top of the line grows and its sustainable. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for all I'm learning.
I’ve just finished blending my second cubic yard of Coots’ 1:1:1 mix, so that makes me the World’s Expert on Dirt, right? The first yard (27ft^3 or roughly 200 gallons), I did just as Jeremy did, and then I thought a little... Things that became clear: Use an oblong tarp, as big as you can get. For a yard of soil, I used a 12x 20. As you blend, move it from one end to the other, then pull the empty end over while it cooks off. Use steel garden rakes to move your soil while blending. I shoveled like J. did for the first yard, but mostly raked the second. It was lot less effort and I think it blended more evenly. When you do shovel, use a gardening shovel, not a coal scoop. Toss the mix and flip the shovel over, so that the soil will spread and blend more rapidly. Do this and your lower back and shoulders will thank you. As you’re blending, spread the pile wide, so as to get an even water distribution. Spray on water about a gallon at a time, and rake it in. This eliminates both dry pockets and soaked areas. Move a bit, rinse, rake, and repeat until done. The even moisture is important. DO NOT OVERWATER! As you rake in, do a squeeze-check often, and blend your layers. For this, I used one of those 4-tine long rakes. Low on the tarp, work with the tines up to avoid snagging. Once you’ve spread and moistened it all, pile it up. Horsepower as much as you can with the tarp, shovel a little into the middle, then rake it up hill as high as you can. Pull around the pile, not straight up (much). You’ll be able to make the pile taller, which helps. At this stage, it’s mainly horse it over then rake it up. Do expect temps as high as 140°f. I’ve turned this batch three times over the course of a week, and it’s still 120°. Finally, at least once in your life, forage for and blend a batch of your own soil. I’ve learned so much during this project. I won’t tell you it’s easy, but it ain’t too hard. Try it!
Eye opening episode with a full explanation of making your own soil. Really appreciate Jeremy for what he is doing for the cannabis growing community 🙏🙏🙏
Over the last few months you've won me over. I'm going to be switching over from salts, and making this recipe very soon! 30 gallon living soil pots just like yours :)
Jeremy, your series are the best thing on the tube, ty so much for being creative and taking the time to teach so much! Since I started watching season 1, been doing organic and I’m loving it!! Ty so much, and keep at it man!!✌️

you are right, I would take home mushroom ends from work and would make me compost go insane.

It’s amazing how passionate you are about the soil & the microbial life it creates & how much knowledge you have on just how living soil works, it’s so fascinating and I’ve watched your build a soil videos too & that’s not even the 10x10 plants grow part of the channel that’s awesome so I’m trying to absorb as much experience & information as I possibly can bc they just passed the legislation for non commercial growing in New Jersey, I think it’s 5 plants per person per household and I want to to make the most of it😊
It was like... finally... kuddos gentleman...
Dankie! (Thank you). Awesome channel! Really appreciate the pointing out of mistakes... thus we learn.
Your comment about people disregarding the value of things when it's free or easy is SO on point!
It's a fantastic sense of achievement reaching your goal when you worked at it!
Oh, I grow outdoors here in South Africa, Cape Town. Just a couple of days till harvest.😁
I'll be making a version of this here in Thailand! :-) Thanks for the video and all that you do!
You guys in Thailand are so lucky :D Suprising the world with legalization :D
But we will overtake y'all with a well engeneered legalization here in germany :-)
These videos are so cool. Thank you BuildASoil for such informative and interesting content!
I've been old-school organic for many years. This is great info. My recipe is very similar and truthfully, I just plain love mixing my growing medium.
What’s your recipe ?
Bro I really appreciate you sharing all your knowledge. That's one of the reason I love your channel and your products, not to mention gorgeous plants lol.
Awesome video! Thank you Jeremy & Clackamas Coot (cool nickname) for working together and sharing your knowledge. You both give this plant the 'coot', or the 'love' it deserves imo. Whatever a 'coot' or clackamas is there's definitely lots of 'love' (or coot) going on that's for sure?
@Clackamas coot Thank you for replying!
We need a coots worm castings breakdown. Like how he does it start to finish. If I could go to his house to learn I would !
Outstanding! Love the new drops
I love reusing those bags too. I keep them in my car or backpack and use them for wildcrafting💚
I swear I’ve heard that opening sound design ID - minus the jar lid screwing off. I believe Amazon has the same one. I could be wrong. Otherwise, I wish I had that much space to work with, a dream come true. Super awesome work and yes, the shoveling is how I injured my arm. How did you know…hahahaha
Sounds like the ted talk intro to me, great videos thank you.
When I was growing indoors in a house i liked to fill as many totes as needed with equal parts then dump each one into a sole lone empty tote, the dumping action of each one basically mixes each one up, and you can go back and forth between the empty one and the totes filled with equal parts. Then at the end you can dump all of them into one pile and barely have to mix anything, on a tarp or garbage bins or whatever next to your grow for minimal transfer. Was cleanest way I could mix in small quarters.
Listeners should know that Clackamas is a county in Oregon. I'm in Lane county where the best cannabis is grown!
I love Oregon i travel there every year for the last 10 yrs from uk
Prove it 😂
Use to buy premade soil. But last 3 yrs been making own. Peat moss. Black Cow. Worm casting. Perlite. So understand this 💯
Amazing as always ! Thank you 🙏 ALL for everything you do
Thank you so much I have learned so much from you… And this knowledge I now have will allow me to teach others. Thank You
I just made a decent amount of soil sourced some from you guys & some from a local nursery garden center near me i got the moss from them I did do the mineral amendments & clacamus kootz recipe nutrient mix and rice wholes from you I didn’t have access to pumice so I used those hydro clay puffs I may order some from you soon & as I re-amend the soil later on i will maybe remove some of the clay and use the pumice instead, I have a worm bin so I am using some of my own worm castings so it’s looking good I added my own compost as well I’ve made about 55 ish gallons of soil mix I think I probably might need the kelp meal, insect frass and biochar but I haven’t tried growing anything just yet but I’ll keep you posted as I do 😊
I got a cool little idea for you Jeremy. You should get a few bags of KIS water only soil and do a side by side test with your soil that you made here in this video.
@Clackamas coot I want to see Jeremy do a side by side test with KIS organics
I love you man you’re a legend
Any type of grower can be confident in using your products and recipes. The detail and the amount of testing you do can ensure top of the line grows and its sustainable. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for all I'm learning.
I’ve just finished blending my second cubic yard of Coots’ 1:1:1 mix, so that makes me the World’s Expert on Dirt, right? The first yard (27ft^3 or roughly 200 gallons), I did just as Jeremy did, and then I thought a little...
Things that became clear:
Use an oblong tarp, as big as you can get. For a yard of soil, I used a 12x 20. As you blend, move it from one end to the other, then pull the empty end over while it cooks off.
Use steel garden rakes to move your soil while blending. I shoveled like J. did for the first yard, but mostly raked the second. It was lot less effort and I think it blended more evenly. When you do shovel, use a gardening shovel, not a coal scoop. Toss the mix and flip the shovel over, so that the soil will spread and blend more rapidly. Do this and your lower back and shoulders will thank you.
As you’re blending, spread the pile wide, so as to get an even water distribution. Spray on water about a gallon at a time, and rake it in. This eliminates both dry pockets and soaked areas. Move a bit, rinse, rake, and repeat until done. The even moisture is important.
DO NOT OVERWATER! As you rake in, do a squeeze-check often, and blend your layers. For this, I used one of those 4-tine long rakes. Low on the tarp, work with the tines up to avoid snagging.
Once you’ve spread and moistened it all, pile it up. Horsepower as much as you can with the tarp, shovel a little into the middle, then rake it up hill as high as you can. Pull around the pile, not straight up (much). You’ll be able to make the pile taller, which helps. At this stage, it’s mainly horse it over then rake it up.
Do expect temps as high as 140°f. I’ve turned this batch three times over the course of a week, and it’s still 120°.
Finally, at least once in your life, forage for and blend a batch of your own soil. I’ve learned so much during this project. I won’t tell you it’s easy, but it ain’t too hard. Try it!
Nice!! Going to use this recipe for my 3x3 bed
Eye opening episode with a full explanation of making your own soil. Really appreciate Jeremy for what he is doing for the cannabis growing community 🙏🙏🙏
Over the last few months you've won me over. I'm going to be switching over from salts, and making this recipe very soon! 30 gallon living soil pots just like yours :)
Just awesome. Love this company and I love watching these episodes. Makes me excited to get into my soil everyday. Thank you!
You are the best! You educate so much as does your wife. Thanks again!!
Jeremy, your series are the best thing on the tube, ty so much for being creative and taking the time to teach so much! Since I started watching season 1, been doing organic and I’m loving it!! Ty so much, and keep at it man!!✌️
We got the buckets with the mineral packs. Finally switched to the peat. I must say the girls loving it! #keepvibin💯
