BuildASoil: Big Soil Comparison // Ingredient Breakdown, Lab Tests & Organic Standards In this long-awaited video, we’re diving deep into The Big Soil Comparison, combining both ingredient reviews and lab analysis into one comprehensive educational experience. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned grower, this episode reveals why ingredient transparency and ethical sourcing are more important than flashy labels or marketing claims. We start by reviewing our soil sample collection process, explaining why we chose the brands we did, many of which were most requested by our Patreon supporters. You’ll see us open and analyze popular soil brands, exposing hidden issues in some big box mixes and setting expectations for what living soil should offer. From there, we break down our scoring system, walk through the lab results in detail, and discuss how to interpret soil tests, including CEC, organic matter, micronutrients, and even rhizophagy and endocytosis in the mulch layer. We also highlight problematic ingredients you’ll want to avoid and contrast them with BuildASoil’s sourcing standards. This episode is packed with value for growers who want to stop guessing and start growing smarter with science-backed soil insights and a focus on long-term soil health.
