Worm Castings

Worm castings are absolutely the most important input in high quality potting soils. They're rich in plant available nutrients and beneficial microbes that improve soil structure, enhance moisture retention, and support strong root development. The microbial life in castings boosts nutrient cycling and helps suppress harmful soil borne pathogens by outcompeting them. This creates an environment where plants thrive and disease struggles to take hold. Including worm castings promotes healthier, more resilient growth, naturally. This is why we find it so important to produce this magic input ourselves here at Riverview Farms.

Locally Sourced

Compost

Diversity, diversity, diversity! Different types of compost support a wide variety of beneficial soil life, each playing a unique role in the microscopic universe beneath our feet. Our compost blend includes rich leaf mold, a perfect food source for beneficial fungi that form powerful symbiotic relationships with plants. That’s why we include both compost and worm castings in our Performance Blend, Houseplant Blend, and Bio-Boost products.

Compost, like worm castings, helps introduce vital soil biology that supports plant health and builds ideal soil structure, achieving the perfect air:water ratio. This ensures plants have access to ample moisture while allowing for proper gas exchange at the root zone. That balance supercharges growth and creates a soil environment that discourages the spread of harmful anaerobic pathogens.

Biochar

Biochar plays a key role in creating a sustainable, high performing potting mix. Its honeycomb like structure helps lock in moisture and nutrients, keeping them available to plants for longer. It also creates an ideal habitat for beneficial microbes, helping to establish a more active and resilient soil food web. By improving nutrient efficiency and overall soil vitality, biochar supports stronger, more consistent plant growth over time. And most importantly, Biochar locks carbon into a stable form that can remain in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. This prevents that carbon from re-entering the atmosphere as CO₂, making it a powerful tool for fighting climate change.

All Inputs approved for organic use

Organic Amendment Blend

Our organic amendment blend is made entirely from ingredients approved for organic use, including inputs like freshly ground malted barley, kelp meal, and bone meal. We carefully measure and apply this mix to hit precise nutrient targets that support vigorous plant growth and improve the yield and quality of fruits and vegetables. These organic amendments don’t just feed your plants, they also nourish the soil. By supporting the soil biology that powers our products, they help create a thriving, living system that delivers consistent performance.

Input Breakdown

Every ingredient that goes into our soils is chosen with care, keeping both quality and sustainability front and center. By using organic inputs, we’re not just feeding plants, we’re feeding the soil life that makes everything thrive. That’s what creates a diverse, productive, and truly healthy ecosystem.

Each batch of soil is a little different by nature. While our base mix (compost, worm castings, biochar, etc.) always stays the same, we fine tune our amendment recipes through soil testing to hit specific nutrient targets. This helps us balance out the natural variability you often see in compost lab reports.

The base mix gives our soil that silky texture and rich biological life your plants need to perform their best. The amendments pack in the nutrients that fuel vigorous, healthy growth. Together, it all adds up to soil that delivers, every bag, in every store, every time.
