3 Types of Compost + Added Minerals.Top dress handfuls across soil surface before/during flowering.Increased Yield is often related to the health of the plant. To have a healthy plant, the soil must be in top shape. Many expensive flowering nutrients are based on sugars and complex carbohydrates that are a waste of money. The Build-A-Flower Top Dress kit is a well rounded and complete approach to flowering. With one top dress you effectively add all the nutrients and micro-nutrients required for a healthy soil.
BuildASoil brings you sulfur that you can introduce into your soil as a soil amendment. Wettable sulfur, and sulfur in general, is a tool to lower the pH levels in soil. Too much, the soil shows too much salt, and the plants suffer, so measurement and experience will be helpful.

Description
Your mulch isn’t breaking down fast enough, nutrients feel “locked up,” and you want that living-soil pop without overcomplicating things?
Kashi Gold is our answer: an artful, small-batch bokashi designed specifically for gardening, not just composting. Sprinkled on the mulch layer, it teams up with your soil food web so plants can intelligently access nutrients through thriving soil food web networks.
The Story Behind Kashi Gold
Deep Roots, Refined Craft
Bokashi is ancient anaerobic fermentation. Years ago, through the Probiotic Farmers Alliance, we met Alan Adkisson, the first person we knew to design a complete bokashi for growing plants. This business was founded with his partner Eddy Lepp. His approach (what he called solid-state fermentation) delivered visible white, pillowy mycelial growth on mulch and faster breakdown in living beds.
Alan launched Gro-Kashi, which set the bar. Later, a past employee of BuildASoil named AJ built on that legacy with Kashi Blend at Growing Organic. When that chapter closed, we came full circle: Alan rejoined us. Together, we set out to make the best bokashi for gardens, treated like a premium culinary experience for your soil from start to finish.
What’s Inside (and Why It Matters)
Premium High Phos Rice Bran
EM-1 (Dr. Higa’s original) to drive consistent, proven fermentation.
Good Vibes Paramagnetic Basalt rock dust flour for coenzymes and trace mineral synergy along with paramagnetic energy.
Insect frass as an additional food source for the biology
Small percentage of Redmond sea salt to round out the fermentation ecology.
Organic cane sugar molasses (never the cheap stuff) to feed the process.
How It’s Crafted
Fermented, dried, and finished with care by Alan, whose process has been refined over years of hands-on work. He includes sun activation to encourage PNSB activity and preserve the living character you’ll notice the moment you open the bag an ancestral, sour-fermented aroma growers love. ☀️🧡
What You’ll Notice In Living Soil
Faster mulch breakdown and visible white bacterial growth.
Improved nutrient cycling right in the mulch layer.
Smoother plant access to minerals without juggling extra bottles.
Instructions for Use:
Top-dress: Sprinkle 2–4 tbsp per sq ft across the mulch layer every 1–3 weeks.
For new beds or heavy mulch: use handfuls tossed in to kickstart activity.
Water in lightly to activate fermentation on the surface.
Compost boost (optional): Mix ½–1 cup per cubic foot of compost.
Storage: Keep sealed, cool, and dry to preserve viability. Solid state fermentations can last for years.
NOTICE: Animals will be wildly attracted to your bag of Kashi Gold. Store somewhere safe or your pets and or mice will find it and eat it all.
Quick Notes
Pairs perfectly with living mulches, compost top-dress, and BuildASoil amendments.
Use year-round in no-till and organic systems, indoor or outdoor.
Aroma is excellent and inviting: that tangy, fermented scent signals quality.
If you’ve followed our journey from Gro-Kashi to Kashi Blend and back with Alan, you’ll recognize the intent: honor tradition, refine the craft, and deliver garden-ready bokashi that simply works.
Mycelium?
We all called it this in the beginning, but eventually the community has realized that this is likely a bacteria called actinomycetes
Actinomycetes (Streptomyces species):
These bacteria behave like fungi and create the white, cobweb-like filaments you’re seeing. They play a major role in breaking down tough plant materials such as cellulose, lignin, and chitin. Actinomycetes also produce antimicrobial compounds, which help suppress pathogens.

BuildASoil BIG 6 Micronutrients + Humic Acid
We have done thousands of soil tests and over the years and we've noticed that our particular soils are usually very high in Iron but very low in manganese and 5 other Micro-nutrients like Boron, Cobalt, Copper, Molybdenum and Zinc!
Once you regain balance in your Iron to Manganese relationship and bypass the limiting factors of the others, you are in a position to drastically increase yield and disease resistance.
This is going to be a flagship product here at BuildASoil and we are very happy that Dr. Faust at Faust Bio-Ag was willing to custom formulate this product for us.
If you have been using TM-7 this is a great time to drop the Iron and ramp up the Manganese by using our newest product.... the BuildASoil BIG 6 MicroNutrients!!
These 6 Micronutrients are balanced and chelated through Faust Ful-Humix Humic Acid to make sure that we can use safe amounts and they will only help the plants. If you have questions please feel free to email us, Support@BuildASoil.com

History of Coconut Water in Gardening
The use of coconut water in gardening can be traced back to the teachings of ClackamasCoot, who highlighted its incredible benefits. The liquid inside young green coconuts is an elixir of life, rich in hormones like Cytokinin, which promotes lateral branching. Besides these powerful hormones, coconut water is packed with beneficial sugars, minerals, and other nutrients that support robust plant growth.
Health Benefits of Young Coconut Water
For centuries, young coconut water has been revered for its health benefits. Often referred to as "nature's sports drink," it's rich in electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals, making it an excellent hydration choice for humans. It supports digestion, boosts energy levels, and even has anti-aging properties due to its Cytokinin content.
Chemical Composition and Biological Properties
Coconut water (coconut liquid endosperm), with its many applications, is one of the world's most versatile natural products. This refreshing beverage is consumed worldwide as it is nutritious and beneficial for health. There is increasing scientific evidence that supports the role of coconut water in health and medicinal applications. Coconut water is traditionally used as a growth supplement in plant tissue culture/micropropagation. The wide applications of coconut water can be justified by its unique chemical composition of sugars, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and phytohormones.

Freeze Drying: The Best Preservation Method
Freeze drying is the best method to preserve the nutritional integrity of coconut water. This process involves removing water content without using heat, which helps retain the valuable enzymes, hormones, and nutrients found in fresh coconut water. Our freeze-dried coconut water powder contains only one ingredient—pure coconut water—with no fillers or additives, unlike many other products on the market. This ensures you get the highest quality product with maximum benefits for your garden.
Sprouted Seed Teas: The Invention of ClackamasCoot
ClackamasCoot, a pioneer in organic gardening techniques, also invented sprouted seed teas. These teas are made by soaking and sprouting seeds, then using the nutrient-rich water as a plant feed. Coconut water is essentially a giant sprouted seed tea, packed with all the beneficial enzymes and hormones that promote plant growth. This makes it an incredibly effective and natural way to boost your garden's health.
How to Use
Whether you’re making coconut water or applying directly to your plants, here are the guidelines:
🥥 Coconut Water: Use 1.5 tablespoons per 8 ounces of water to make reconstituted coconut water like you would find inside the coconut.
🌿 Direct Plant Recipe:
1/2 - 1 teaspoon per gallon of water
1/3 pound per 50 gallons of water
1 pound per 150 gallons of water

BuildASoil Craft Blend started with a big workshop full of the best and cleanest soil amendments available. I quickly became spoiled and would use all of the BuildASoil ingredients together and in different combinations that aren't available here online. After discussing re-amending with a buddy and also Nutrient Tea Brewing he mentioned that I should combine every nutrient that we have into a fertilizer pack of the cleanest ingredients for everyone to use.
This peach fruit extract is made with love on a small farm near Paonia Colorado using natural probiotic farming practices.
Note: The Fermented Liquid Peach Extract is a seasonal product, and only available for a limited time! Get your own while supplies last!
Derived From: Orchard Grown Peaches, Clean Mountain Water, molasses, sorghum syrup, Lactic Acid Bacteria sourced from local goat whey, Super Cera Powder, and EM-1. This is then fermented until the peach fruit is digested and extracted into the liquid and the sugars are consumed by the microbes to lock in the PH for stability and ease of use in the garden.
Why Use?Since starting BuildASoil we've been preaching DIY techniques. This particular fermented plant extract is made from ripe peach fruit, and all the information we have about fermenting your own extracts suggests that you should start with the part of the plant that you wish to grow. For instance, if you wish to get faster vegetative growth you would ferment fast growing green leaves to feed to your plants. However, if you wished to grow bigger flowers, you should ferment flowers to feed to your plants. It is with this idea, we fermented peach fruit to be used as an all natural bloom booster for your garden.Lactobacillus varieties are:
Ubiquitous, meaning they are everywhere!
Facultative or surviving in both aerobic and anaerobic environments.
Microaerophilic, which is biology speak for preferring environments with less oxygen than typical environmental air - like in soil.
Rod shaped bacillus means “wand” or “small staff”- the “magic wand” because fermentation has an alchemical nature of transmuting raw materials into more nutritious valuable preparations.
Heterofermentative translates to producing a variety of outputs including nutrients, CO2, yeasts, acids, and carbohydrates, which plants crave.
Antipathogenic in biology can mean that effective and beneficial microbes outcompete and overcome “the bad guys,” or pathogenic microbes, often present in decomposition.
This horsetail fern extract is made with love on a small farm near Paonia, Colorado using
natural probiotic farming practices. This farm has been operating under the direction of Miles Filippelli since 2016 for the purpose of producing high quality plant inputs for BuildaSoil and the Fermented Plant Extracts product line. Lactobacillus bacteria are saprophytes, meaning they are decomposers, they break down organic matter. This trait is harnessed in the production of Fermented Plant Extracts where lactobacillus are fed specific nutrient dense food sources for the purpose of breaking down plant compounds and extracting them into a liquid form.Note: The Fermented Horsetail Extract is a seasonal product, and only available for a limited time! Get your own while supplies last!
Derived From: Clean Mountain Water, Horsetail (Equisetum), Molasses, Sorghum syrup, Lactic Acid Bacteria sourced from local goat whey, and EM-1. This is then fermented until the Horsetail fern is digested and extracted into the liquid and the sugars are consumed by the microbes to lock in the PH for stability and ease of use in the garden.
Why Use?
This particular Fermented Plant Extract is made from Horsetail fern, which is known to be high in silica and is used in the biodynamic preparation known as BD508 - a botanical tea.

This special seasonal Fermented Plant Extract of Watermelon is made with love on a small farm near Paonia Colorado using natural probiotic farming practices. This farm has been operating under the direction of Miles Filippelli since 2016 for the purpose of producing high quality plant inputs for BuildASoil and the Fermented Plant Extracts product line. Lactobacillus bacteria are saprophytes, meaning they are decomposers, they break down organic matter. This trait is harnessed in the production of Fermented Plant Extracts where lactobacillus are fed specific nutrient dense food sources for the purpose of breaking down plant compounds and extracting them into a liquid form.
Derived From: Clean Mountain Water, Watermelon, molasses, sorghum syrup, Lactic Acid Bacteria sourced from local goat whey, and EM-1. This is then fermented until the plant matter is digested and extracted into the liquid and the sugars are consumed by the microbes to lock in the PH for stability and ease of use in the garden.
Why Use?
This particular Fermented Plant Extract is made from watermelons. Watermelon
Fermented Plant Extract is designed for all stages of growth, especially bloom. The
large seed bearing fruiting body of watermelon is rich in nutrients including vitamin C, B,
magnesium and calcium.

Lactobacillus varieties are:
Saprophytic - they break down organic matter and generally do not harm living things.
Antipathogenic - they are effective and beneficial microbes that outcompete and
overcome “the bad guys,” or pathogenic microbes.
Ubiquitous - they are everywhere!
Facultative - surviving in both aerobic and anaerobic environments.
Microaerophilic - preferring environments with less oxygen than typical environmental air similar to conditions in soil.
Rod shaped - bacillus means “wand” or “small staff”- the “magic wand” because
fermentation has an alchemical nature of transmuting raw materials into more nutritious
valuable preparations.
Heterofermentative - translates to producing a variety of outputs including nutrients,
CO2, yeasts, acids, and carbohydrates, which plants crave.
Notice:
Store in a cool & dark place at room temperature, 68oF to 86oF (20oC-30oC) and out of
direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children • Avoid contact with eyes or open wounds • Not for human consumption

📜 Tracing Willow's Roots 📜
The vast Salix genus boasts over 400 willow species sprinkled across the globe 🌐. Beyond its rapid growth, willow holds a rich medicinal legacy, notably as nature's precursor to aspirin. Extracted salicylic acid from willow bark gives us this pain-relieving wonder 💊.
Long before aspirin's debut in 1899, indigenous cultures have revered the bark and leaves of the willow tree for its therapeutic properties against pain and inflammation 🌿🩺.
Before the age of commercial rooting agents, the willow stood out as the go-to natural enhancer for plant propagation 🌱🔄.

🌿 Willow Water Rooting Solution 🌿
Materials:
Young willow branches (ideally those that are no thicker than a pencil and from the current year's growth)
A large container or bucket
Boiling water
Glass jar or bottle for storing
Procedure:
Collection of Willow Branches:
Search for a willow tree and cut some young, healthy branches. Remember, the newer the growth, the higher the concentration of the rooting hormone (indolebutyric acid).
Preparation of the Branches:
Remove all the leaves from the branches.
Cut the branches into small pieces, around 1-2 inches long.
Steeping the Willow Pieces:
Place the cut willow pieces into your container or bucket.
Pour boiling water over the willow pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Let the mixture sit and steep for 12-24 hours. This allows the water to extract the rooting hormone from the willow pieces.
Straining and Storing:
After steeping, strain the willow pieces out, collecting the water in a glass jar or bottle.
Your willow water rooting solution is now ready to use!
Application:
For plant cuttings: Soak the base of your cuttings in the willow water for several hours before planting them.
For already potted plants: Water them with the willow water solution to encourage root growth.
As a growth boost: Occasionally water your plants with willow water as it not only promotes rooting but also can give plants a growth boost due to the presence of beneficial compounds.
Storage and Shelf Life:
It's best to store your willow water in the refrigerator if you're not using it immediately. Use within 2 months for best results. After this period, the effectiveness may decrease.
If you instead opt to purchase our Fermented Version the shelf life is MUCH longer and will last years at room temperature.
Benefits of Willow Water:
Willow water is a natural alternative to commercial rooting hormones.
It contains salicylic acid, which can help protect plants from diseases.
The solution encourages root growth and can boost the overall health of the plant.
