Has anybody else tried this soil mix from Rare Earth? 380$ a yard, but this is bar far the best soil I have ever seen. The tilth is perfect, and the soil test results are second to none. I am personally testing this mix myself, and sending them to Logan Labs. Once the tests come back to me, I will post them up for others to look at. Personally, I am stoked that a soil yard got their stuff together and is testing soil mixes. Instead of just throwing a little of this, some compost here, and bam 60$ a yard of crap!
This mix has hand sprinkled additives and a slow mixing of the ingredients. They only mix 10 yard batches to ensure the quality, and they take 30+ minutes turning the pile slow and easy. Then they keep the mix wet, so the bio life is very active.(at one point they talked of applying compost tea to keep alive, not sure if that is still happening)
I got a fresh batch made that day, but they claim usually it is ready to plant in because they keep it moist and let it "cook". I am letting the rain soak it all for the next couple days, then into their final post and a cover crop goes on next.
Anybody use Coots mix from Rare Earth?
