The large Nutrient Pack now comes in a 42lb bag.

The KiS Organics Nutrient Pack is essentially the nutrient portion of our Water Only and Biochar soil mixes for container planting and raised beds. You can grow from seedling to harvest with no other inputs but water for several months. This is a great option for saving on shipping by sourcing your base soil ingredients locally.

100% natural and organic ingredient with no synthetic chemicals and passes every regulatory standard for organics (OMRI, CDFA, WSDA, etc..). The combination of minerals has passed all Heavy Metal testing in numerous states

We use high quality organic and natural ingredients that are formulated to allow the plant to uptake all the essential ingredients it needs to give you healthier and higher yielding crops and ultimately an abundant harvest. We have designed this formula to ensure that sufficient quantities of mineral nutrients are available to the microbes and plants, allowing the plant to uptake all the essential ingredients it needs.

Additional advantages to the Nutrient Pack:

The KiS Nutrient Pack has been tested on multiple plants and vegetables all the way to harvest.
No need for further nutrients or fertilizer, saving you tons of money! (see blog post here if you would like an advanced schedule to fully maximize plant growth with some minimal plant-specific inputs)
No need to flush your soil
Save money! Keep your soil alive and healthy. You can reuse KIS Organic soils over and over again with small amendments between cycles.
Use it indoors or outdoors. 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.
You can use your current nutrient program at 1/4 strength with our soil mix to produce healthier & higher-yielding crops.

SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS

Our nutrient pack is a great product to cover a wide variety of scenarios and can be used in 3 different ways:

Small Nutrient Pack (3.2 lbs) - 5 cups

Regular Nutrient Pack (14 lbs) - 22 cups

Large Nutrient Pack (42 lbs) - 65 cups

1.65 cups per lb

274 grams in a cup

Top Dress Nutrient Deficient Soil

You can sprinkle the mixture on top of the soil, lightly scratch it in and follow the application with watering. On a side note - if you are strictly 'no till' then this is method works well but if mixing it more thoroughly into the soil is an option then that will allow the nutrients to get to the rhizosphere quicker.

General Application

Apply 1 cup of nutrient pack per 10 gallons of soil in growing media pots or 1/2 cup per square foot of soil outdoors.
Lightly scratch or till into soil.

Amending Recycled Soil

Mix the nutrient pack (per application rate) with aeration (i.e pumice, gypsum, perlite) and good compost or worm castings and then add that to your existing soil.

Recipe (Per Gallon of Reused Soils)

0.8 oz to 1.6 oz KIS Nutrient Pack
5 oz aeration amendment
5 oz high-quality compost or earthworm castings

Mix and wet thoroughly. Allow 24-48 hours before planting.

Create Water-Only Living Soil

This is a great option for those who want to use our soil but want to use local inputs or perhaps want to save on shipping by sourcing the base soil ingredients locally.

The only thing technically "missing" from the Nutrient Pack would be the Biochar, peat moss, pumice or other aeration, and a high-quality compost. You'll want to source those bulkier items locally. Some folks even mix our Nutrient Pack at 1/2 strength if you need the soil to stretch a bit further. If you decide to add Biochar, then you can get one of the smaller sizes we offer. We add Biochar at 5 - 8% for our Biochar soil mix.

Water Only Soil Recipe (this makes a little over 100 gallons or 1/2 yard of soil)

45 gallons sphagnum peat moss
35 gallons aeration amendment (pumice, perlite or lava rock)
20 gallons high quality compost or earthworm castings

Add the Large KiS Nutrient Pack and mix thoroughly and then water to field capacity. Turn the soil the following day and then every other day for 7 - 14 days. When the soil has cooled to ambient temperature it is ready to plant. It is easiest to mix on a slab, tarp or kiddie pool as to not lose any ingredients when adding water.

The Small Nutrient Pack (3.2 lbs) is enough to make a little over 1 cubic ft (10 gallons) of Water Only Soil

The Regular Nutrient Pack (14 lbs) is enough to make 4 cubic ft (30 gallons) of Water Only Soil

The Large Nutrient Pack (42 lbs) is enough to make 12 cubic ft (100 gallons) of Water Only Soil
