SPOTLIGHT
Organic Mechanics® Biochar Blend
Our Biochar Blend is a mixture of bone char (adding phosphorus and calcium, and more in on this in a second), alfalfa and kelp meals (providing essential nutrients), compost and worm castings (for beneficial biology), and azomite and zeolite to nourish the soil’s microbiology and the plant’s roots. Soils become deficient in all of these things as plants grow and are then removed at harvest. Biochar adds all that good stuff back in.
Back to that “bone char” for a minute. To elaborate, this form of biochar is a highly porous carbon that improves nutrient adsorption and provides a home for the soil’s beneficial microbes. Biochar is made through a process called pyrolysis (i.e., decomposition brought about by high temperatures) and once it’s in your soil, it’s safe to say it’s there for a lifetime.

Founder and President
“The Organic Mechanic”
Founded in 2006, the Organic Mechanics Soil Company, LLC is a manufacturer and distributor of premier organic potting soils, soil amendments, and fertilizers for the professional and consumer gardening communities. Our retail products can be found in independent garden centers, houseplant shops, natural food stores, and indoor gardening stores. Our wholesale products ship to farms, growers, and landscape companies. We are proud to service most of the U.S., from the East Coast to the Southwest.
At the heart of all we do, we share a philosophy that embraces environmental sustainability and regenerative gardening practices. We are actively pursuing the dream of producing the highest quality, most earth-friendly organic potting soils, soil amendments, and fertilizers available.
This is why we choose to use biochar, compost, and coconut coir instead of peat (and rice hulls instead of perlite in most of our blends), bio-diesel to power our equipment, and recycled products and local ingredients whenever available. We are committed to operating our business responsibly and sustainably.
Factor in knowledgeable, personal service, the superior performance results you’ll enjoy in your garden, and the ability to re-use our soil products a second growing season, and we hope you’ll agree that Organic Mechanics is indeed the best potting soil you’ll ever buy.
Dig your hands into a bag of Organic Mechanics and start gardening… your plants will love you for it!
