Description
The perfect soil for all indoor and outdoor plants
Inside each box is 18 Quarts of Good Dirt Potting Mix — a proprietary blend that starts with Veriflora® Certified Canadian Peat Moss harvested from responsibly managed peatlands. Next, we blend in Bogbits®, a byproduct of sustainably harvested peat moss, for optimum porosity. This combination of Peat and BogBits provides just the right balance of air and water retention, making your plant’s roots very happy.
- Experience bigger blooms, healthier roots, and faster growth
- Grow Clean with Good Dirt: all-natural, chemical-free, GMO-free, nut-free, and vegan
- Each 18 Quart box of Potting Mix will fill ten 6” pots
- Our Canadian peat is sustainably managed, regenerating 70 times faster than the rate of harvest
- Our Dirt Box and the inside liner are made from post-consumer waste materials that normally would end up in the landfills
- Contains no pine bark, which breaks down quickly and causes a potting mix to become dense, turning to muck and inhibiting root growth
Pro Tip: Our potting mix retains moisture throughout so you can Water Smarter™
Why a box?
We’re dedicated to environmental protection, social responsibility, and quality performance. The box defines our move towards plant-based packaging, elimination of virgin plastic, and innovation towards leading sustainability in our industry.
DIRT IN A BOX® OUTER PACKAGING:
The box is made from 100% locally recycled corrugated cardboard — AND you can use it in your gardens as a mulch and to prevent weeds from sprouting up. The box is manufacture-certified by three international Forestry Councils: The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), and The Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes (PEFC).
The integrity of the supply chain is extremely important to ensure sustainability throughout the product’s conception, manufacturing and launch to market.
What’s in the box?
DIRT IN A BOX® INNER LINING:
To guarantee the integrity of the box until it is ready to be recycled or composted, a liner is necessary to contain the natural moisture of the soil within the box.
We chose a sealable poly bag liner made of 100% recycled content instead of virgin plastic. Our post-consumer waste poly plastic is made from waste materials that have been produced and discarded.
We chose 100% recycled post-consumer plastic over virgin plastic, plant-based plastic or biodegradable plastic. The inner liner bags are recyclable at local grocery store that accepts plastic bags. Plant-based plastics must be recycled in special industrial facilities that are not common and often end in the landfill. Biodegradable plastic can contain pesticides and other toxic materials and can release methane into the atmosphere.
We continue to dive into new technologies to reduce plastic to a minimum in all Good Dirt products.
