SANCTUARY SOIL & FEED

Sanctuary Soil & Feed Story

At Sanctuary Soil, we know a healthy garden starts with healthy soil. That’s why we consider soil to be a rather sacred thing. After all, soil is one of the world’s most important natural re-sources, and together with air and water is the basis for life on the planet earth.

“... the Latin name for man, homo, derived from humus, [is] the stuff of life in the soil.”

Dr. Daniel Hillel, 2012 World Food Prize Laureate

Whether your soil is supporting the delicious foods you grow or the beautiful flowers and trees in your garden, our soils and amendments provide the ultimate growing conditions for nutritious, high-performing plants.

Buckaroo Worm Castings

There are worm castings, and then, there are Buckaroo Organic Worm Castings. These premium, artisan worm castings offer an excellent all-in-one soil amendment, which is OIM listed for organic gardening, and safe around children and pets.

Since the beginning of time, earthworms have converted organic matter into humus-rich soil with plant nutrients and revitalized soil biology. Worm castings are the “original” fertilizer, and they remain the purest and best quality plant foods today, add-ing beneficial microorganisms, nutrients and organic matter to the soil.

Buckaroo worm castings are carefully hand-crafted using a one-year process. We feed our worms a special balanced diet. Our primary feedstock is organic compost and humus instead of grains or other non-beneficial feed stocks. We hand-weed our worm beds rather than use heavy machinery which may contaminate our products and we regularly apply a proprietary blend of beneficial amendments to the worm beds.The result is a superior product that is readily available to plants, and helps worn-out and de-pleted soils come alive in an all-natural, sustainably safe way.

Available Sizes: 25 pound bags, 1 yard super-sacks and truckloads
