Bloom has been the best thing to happen to our cannabis grow. The high fertility levels have been expertly balanced to get us all the way through flower with very minimal additions, and our yields and secondary metabolites have both substantially increased since we switched from another industry-leading soil.

This season we used Sprout to start all of our seedlings and the results speak for themselves. We do a lot of transplanting on our vegetable farm and couldn’t ask for a better product
Eric Stoffer: Owner, Bay Branch Farm
We just potted something up in House and it seems to be perfect! Compared to the other blends we have worked with, House seems much less susceptible to holding on water and breeding of fungus gnats. We love working with Tilth Soil and being able to provide a locally sourced essential piece for our plants.
Ellio Calabrese: Owner, Urban Planting
The soil is fantastic. We haven’t changed anything about our garden except for the soil, and our plants are healthier, happier, and more fruitful. Service was friendly and knowledgeable.
John Z: Home Gardener
