Transform Your Big Island Garden with Hawaiian Volcanic Organic™ Top Soil!

Living on Hawaii's Big Island offers a unique opportunity to cultivate your own food and maintain vibrant plants and trees. However, many residents face challenges with their soil. Some areas consist mainly of lava rock with little to no soil. Some other areas have nutrient deficient soil that is depleted sugar land dirt.  Hawaiian Volcanic Organic™ Top Soil provides a natural solution to enrich your garden, regardless of these challenges.

Understanding the Soil Challenges

On the Big Island, gardeners often encounter two primary issues:

1. Nutrient-Deficient Soil: Years of sugarcane cultivation have depleted essential nutrients, making it difficult to grow healthy fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.
2. Lava Rock Terrain: Many areas consist of hardened lava with minimal soil cover, posing a significant challenge for planting. Without proper intervention, plants may struggle with weak growth, yellowing leaves, and reduced yields.

Introducing Hawaiian Volcanic Organic® Top Soil

Our topsoil comes from a 25-acre organic farm in Mountain View, Hawaii. This fertile land served as a large-scale cow pasture for 64 years, naturally enriching the soil with composted cow manure and lush jungle foliage. The result is a rich, dark medium teeming with life. Analyses by the University of Hawaii reveal an impressive 29.3% organic matter content, supplying abundant nutrients to support plant health + indigenous beneficial microbes.

Benefits of Our Topsoil

1. Nutrient-Rich Composition: The high organic matter content delivers essential nutrients, promoting robust plant growth and plentiful harvests.
2. Improved Soil Structure: Our topsoil enhances soil texture, facilitating better root development and water retention.
3. Custom Blends Available: We offer mixes incorporating 1.5" minus cinder to improve drainage, moisture retention, and aeration, tailored to your specific gardening needs.

Customized Soil Mixes for Your Garden

How to Use Our Topsoil

• For New Gardens: Spread a 2-3 inch layer over existing soil and mix thoroughly to boost nutrient content.
• For Established Plants: Apply a 1-inch layer around the base of plants to replenish nutrients and enhance soil health.
• For Potted Plants: Utilize our topsoil as a premium potting mix, providing a strong foundation for container-grown plants.
• For Filling New Raised Beds:

1. 1. Prepare the Bed: Make sure you coat your interior wood with a water-based sealer and paint to preserve it.  Then drill some ¼” holes and then lay down 2 to 3 inches – this will help with drainage.
   2. Add Organic Material: Mix your top soil with additional cinder. Optionally use coco core, potting soil, or compost.
   3. Mix and Water:Blend the layers slightly to integrate, then water thoroughly to settle the soil.
