1. Top-Dressing Nutrient Soil

Sprinkle the Nutrient Pack evenly across the top layer of soil, gently scratch or till into the surface, and water thoroughly. For strict no-till systems, top-dressing works well; however, lightly working it into the upper root zone delivers nutrients to the rhizosphere faster.

2. General Container & Garden Application Rates

Pots & Containers: Apply 1 cup per 10 gallons of soil.
Outdoor Garden Beds: Apply 1/2 cup per square foot of soil.

3. Mixing Water-Only Living Soil (DIY Recipe)

This recipe creates approximately 100 gallons (~0.5 cubic yards) of premium living soil:

45 gallons Sphagnum Peat Moss
35 gallons Aeration Amendment (Pumice, Perlite, or Lava Rock)
20 gallons High-Quality Compost or Earthworm Castings
48 cups KIS Organics Nutrient Pack

Mixing Instructions: Mix ingredients thoroughly on a tarp or clean surface and water to field capacity (squeeze soil firmly; only 1–2 drops of water should come out). Turn the pile the following day, then every other day for 7 to 14 days until soil temperatures cool to ambient room temperature.

Pro Tip: If you want biochar in your custom mix, add Black Owl Biochar at 5%–8% total volume. For detailed steps, read our full Water-Only Soil Recipe & Mixing Guide on our blog.
