100% natural and organic ingredients, no synthetic chemicals.
Here at KiS, we have made the extra steps to register our soil as fertilizer due to the high level of fertility we have added to the mix. Our Biochar Soil Mix is registered for organic use in organic production with CDFA, Oregon Tilth and Certified KIND.
We have taken a lot of time, research and lab testing to perfect our soil mixes from the beginning. We use high quality amendments that work together to create balanced, nutrient dense, biologically active and diverse soil mixes. Our soils have a high ratio of ingredients compared to all the other soils on the market and all our mixes are ready to use.
The unique combination of minerals and biochar and our manipulation of pH have allowed our growers to pass all heavy metal testing in numerous states since the original formulation of our recipe. Any heavy metals present in the formulation have been tested and proven to be relatively unavailable to the plant.
Bottled nutrients are not required and there is no need to worry about burning your plants - just plant and water until next harvest. This soil mix has all the beneficial biology, nutrients, and minerals your plant needs to be happy and healthy for several months.
Additional advantages of our soil mix:
- We use lab and microscope tested compost and peat to ensure good biological activity.
- We inoculate our soil mix with additional microorganisms to further increase microbial life and nutrient cycling.
- No need for further nutrients or fertilizer, saving you tons of money! That being said, we do have an advanced nutrient schedule available on our blog (click here).
- Can be reused over and over again, with only small amendments between cycles. We have tested and re-amended the soil up to 5 years in indoor beds.
- Can be used indoors or outdoors, though keep in mind that this soil is alive and there will be some insects and other small organisms in the soil. This is necessary to maintain a healthy soil food web and achieve proper nutrient cycling. You don’t want a sterile soil for organic gardening/growing!

SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS AND TIPS
We recommend a minimum of 7 gallon containers for maximum benefit on a full cycle plant.
For indoor growing environments, use 60-90 gallons of soil per light.
Water frequently to keep the soil evenly moist. For best results, keep soil near field capacity. To test the soil, take a handful and squeeze it firmly. If only a drop of two of water comes out, then the soil is near capacity.
When using a moisture meter aim for 80-120 mbar; for best results use Tropf Blumat irrigation.
If you wish to add additional nutrients, please refer to the rest of our product line or use other nutrients at 1/4 of their recommended rate.
NOTE: If growing a larger plant in a small container, you will need to top dress weekly with our KiS Organics Nutrient Pack to achieve optimal plant growth.

Customer Reviews
United States United StatesFirst-rate results
Ordered a yard to put in my 3x3 and first round was phenomenal. Only added 1 humic acid and 2 compost tea applications. Then just water. Just got my soil test results from Brandon and will be re-amending for round 2.
United StatesVery hydrophobic
I used to buy this soil years ago and it was amazing. But now it just seems like it's a dry pain like any other soil I'd buy from Walmart. Shippings expensive. After shipping, 70$ doesn't make sense for a dry bag of soil that won't hydrate even when using yucca extracts and/or bronners soap and/or aloe. I have a plant that I transplanted into this soil about 2 or 3 weeks ago soaking in a bucket of water right now and it's just floating. It's been looking sad no matter how much water I give it and even soaking it in a flooded drainage tray all day did nothing. We'll see if it hydrates and sinks in thr bucket.
United StatesGreat stuff
I can’t complain. I keep buying more. It’s great soil. I just wish there were vendors available in the Bay Area or Sacramento cause shipping is quite costly.
United StatesKIS organics bio char soil
KIS Organics shipped quick and arrived quick. I'm in the same state which I sure helped. I am just about to get a run going and will update after I get finished up. I read a lot about Kis though and know a couple people that use it with great results
