Shop Information
APSU Soil is produced in many sizes and volumes, from small bags to full cubic feet and bulk quantities. For online retail and shipping, however, we offer our soils exclusively in ½ cubic foot bags. This format allows us to pack efficiently, protect the soil, and keep shipping costs as low and predictable as possible.
Soil is heavy, and shipping larger or partially filled boxes quickly becomes inefficient and expensive. The ½ cubic foot format is simply what works best for online orders.
If you want 1 cubic foot shipped, order two ½ cubic foot bags — an automatic bundle discount is applied at checkout.
No code is required, and the price adjusts automatically.
7-quart and full cubic foot bags are available in store or online for local pickup.
Desert and mineral-heavy soils weigh significantly more and may require USPS Flat Rate shipping.
Bulk orders can always be arranged directly for the best possible shipping rates.
If you have questions about sizing or shipping, feel free to reach out anytime. (202) 391-1020
Find Your Soil
Type your plant or animal into the search, and we’ll show you the right soil.
We study how soil works in the real world. That means collecting live samples from natural environments, testing them in the lab, and paying close attention to how structure, water, nutrients, and biology interact over time.
We combine hands-on fieldwork, extensive lab testing, open-source research, and APSU’s proprietary tools to turn those observations into reliable potting mixes. Each blend is built to stay structurally sound, hold nutrients through exchange rather than leaching, and support living biology long after planting. The result is a reusable soil system that performs consistently in containers, gardens, and habitats—so growers spend less time correcting problems and more time growing.
