APSU LivingSoil™
Our LivingSoil™ enhances plant health from the ground up. Designed with a meticulously balanced blend of Organic Compost, Coco Coir, Peat Moss, Fine Bark, and Worm Castings, this living soil is enriched with beneficial microbes and nutrients, creating the perfect environment for vibrant, thriving plants.
What makes LivingSoil™ unique? Unlike our SuperSoil™, which is engineered for maximum growth and yield, LivingSoil™ offers a more gradual, sustained nutrient release to support long-term plant health and vitality. Infused with Perlite and Biochar, this blend ensures optimal aeration, moisture retention, and drainage, making it versatile enough to accommodate a wide range of plant species.
Additionally, LivingSoil™ is fortified with Dolomite Lime, Fish Bone Meal, Kelp Meal, and Rock Phosphate, delivering essential nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, and nitrogen. These organic components work together to strengthen your plants, promote deep-rooted growth, and boost resistance to stress.
For those looking to fine-tune their soil for specific plant needs, we also offer a comprehensive LivingSoil™ Plant Guide.

What’s Inside and Why?
Organic Compost: Improves soil fertility, structure, and moisture retention, while adding beneficial microbes for a thriving soil ecosystem.
Worm Castings: Enhances nutrient availability and boosts microbial activity, promoting strong plant growth.
Peat Moss: Optimizes moisture retention, improves soil structure, and supports root aeration for healthier plants.
Coco Coir: Provides excellent water retention while improving aeration and adding organic matter for better root development.
Perlite: Ensures proper drainage and prevents soil compaction, promoting root health and plant stability.
Fine Bark: Contributes to soil structure, aeration, and moisture regulation while decomposing over time to add organic matter.
Fish Bone Meal: Supplies phosphorus and calcium, essential for healthy root systems and stronger plants.
Kelp Meal: Rich in micronutrients and plant hormones, it enhances stress tolerance, stimulates growth, and improves overall plant vitality.
Azomite: A natural source of trace minerals, improving nutrient availability and boosting overall plant health.
Dolomite Lime: Balances soil pH and provides essential calcium and magnesium for strong cell structure and photosynthesis.
Gypsum: Improves soil texture, reduces compaction, and provides a soluble source of calcium and sulfur.
Vegetables:
Plants like tomatoes, peppers, and leafy greens flourish in nutrient-dense environments that provide a steady release of essential nutrients. LivingSoil™, with its blend of compost, worm castings, and fish bone meal, offers a slow, consistent supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, and calcium—perfect for promoting robust plant growth, strong root systems, and high-yield harvests. The addition of biochar ensures nutrient retention and helps regulate moisture, while perlite provides excellent aeration, preventing compaction and keeping roots oxygenated.
Fruiting Plants:
Strawberries, raspberries, and fruiting trees such as apple and peach thrive in a well-balanced, moisture-retentive environment. LivingSoil™ offers the perfect combination of compost, coco coir, and worm castings to keep the soil nutrient-rich and well-aerated. The inclusion of rock phosphate encourages vigorous root development, while kelp meal boosts fruit production and resilience against stress. Gypsum (optional) helps supply calcium and sulfur, which are vital for fruiting plants to thrive.
Flowering Plants:
Roses, sunflowers, and marigolds demand a fertile soil that can support healthy blooms while maintaining good drainage. LivingSoil™’s blend of organic compost, fine bark, and perlite ensures excellent soil structure for flowering plants, promoting water retention without the risk of root rot. Biochar boosts long-term soil fertility, while the trace minerals from azomite provide the micronutrients necessary for vibrant, long-lasting flowers.
Houseplants:
Popular houseplants such as philodendrons, pothos, and ferns flourish in soils that offer balanced moisture retention and gentle nutrient release. LivingSoil™’s mix of coco coir, peat moss, and compost provides the ideal combination for healthy growth. The slow-release nutrients from worm castings and biochar help houseplants remain lush and green, while perlite keeps the soil light and well-drained, ensuring roots have access to both moisture and oxygen.
Herbs:
Fast-growing herbs like basil, cilantro, and mint thrive in nutrient-rich soils with consistent moisture levels. LivingSoil™ delivers the necessary nutrients through its rich compost and worm castings, which support quick growth and vibrant flavors. Coco coir helps retain moisture without over-saturation, while fine bark ensures the soil remains well-aerated, crucial for the healthy development of herbs.
Cannabis:
Cannabis plants require a soil that balances rich nutrients with excellent aeration and drainage. LivingSoil™ is ideal for cannabis cultivation due to its high organic content from worm castings, fish bone meal, and kelp meal. The addition of perlite provides optimal aeration, while biochar and compost ensure that nutrients are retained and released gradually, supporting strong, vigorous growth and high yields.
