Hoping for your best gardening season yet?
It starts with the soil - and our Transplant Kit will ensure your plant babies have all the nutrients and microbes they need to thrive like never before!
INCLUDED IN TRANSPLANT KIT
- Patio Transplant Kit: 1x Bag of Worm Castings (4L), 1x Bag of 444 Superfood (750g).
- Backyard Transplant Kit: 3x Bag of Worm Castings (4L), 1x Bag of 444 Superfood (750g).
HOW TO USE THE TRANSPLANT KIT
When you are ready to transplant your plants into your garden beds or containers:
- Dig: Dig a hole about 6" deep.
- Worm Castings: Sprinkle 1x handful of worm castings into the hole.
- Superfood: Sprinkle 1x tablespoon of 444 Superfood into the hole.
- Place & Backfill: Place your seedling in to the hole and backfill it with surrounding soil. Gently compact the soil so that it is snug.
- Top Dressing: Sprinkle 1x handful of worm castings and 1x tablespoon of 444 Superfood around the main stem where it enters the soil. Gently massage into the top 1" of soil.
- Water: Generously water to help move the microbes and nutrients into the root zone.
WHEN SHOULD SEEDLINGS BE TRANSPLANTED?
Before transplanting your seedlings into your outdoor garden, you want to make sure the average night-time low is warm enough for them to survive. This can be broken into two categories
- Warm Weather Crops (i.e. Tomatoes, Peppers, Squashes, Cucumbers, etc.): Wait until the average night time low temperature is at least 10C/50F.
- Cool Weather Crops (i.e. Brassicas, Leafy Greens): Wait until the average night time low temperature is at least 8C/46F.
Once the temperatures are warmer than this, you can begin hardening off your seedlings to prepare them for the outdoors.
HOW DO I HARDEN OFF SEEDLINGS FOR TRANSPLANT?
The outdoor garden is significantly more intense and variable than growing indoors under the grow lights. As such, we want to gradually introduce our seedlings to the outdoors to mitigate any transplant shock. This is the process of hardening them off, and can be done over a 10-day process. For the first 5 days, take your plants outside and place them in the sun for 2hrs (Day 1), 4hrs (Day 2), 6hrs (Day3) 8hrs (Day4) and 10hrs (Day5). For days 6-8 ensure the average night time low is warmer than the temperatures above and leave your plants outside over night in their seed cell. Lastly, between day 8-10 transplant the seedlings into the garden - once again ensuring that there are no cold snaps in the forecast for the coming week.
WHEN DO I REAPPLY WORM CASTINGS?
Six weeks after transplanting your seedlings you can apply a top dressing of Worm Castings and 4-4-4 Superfood. To do this, simply sprinkle 1x handful of worm castings and 1x tablespoon of 444 Superfood around the base of each plant. Gently massage it into the top 1" of soil and water thoroughly. This will provide a great bump in nutrients for the plants.

I enjoyed nurturing my plants with the products.
Loving the results.
Kathleen C.
I love knowing I gave my plants a good start with your worm castings and organic granular fertilizer.
Kathryn M.
My vegetables are thriving since using this transplanting kit!
Jean L.
I think there is something in the fertilizer that attracts dogs and rodents. This is probably not an issue for urban gardeners, but we are in a rural area. My dog dug up the seeds I planted which she had never done before so I had to start again. Then the pocket gophers arrived and killed my snap peas and purple bush beans. (They had grown nicely till the varmints chewed them off) This was also the first time I have had to do battle with pocket gophers . I will try replanting again but it is disappointing.
barbara l.
I love my hori knife so much I purchased one for my daughter in law. She loves it too.
I have been using the 444 fertilizer this summer and my plants are thriving despite the heat
Donna B.
Sorry I haven't taken any pictures yet. My garden was delayed this year because we had our 50th wedding Anniversary. When that was over I wasn't sure if I was going to plant a garden because of the heat we have had. Things are looking good so I will get busy with the camera soon.
Caroline D.
Loved the transplant kit I ordered a while back, plants are doing great!
James W.
The result of using the 444 super food and worm castings has been fantastic. There is a noticeable vibrance that I was not expecting. Thanks Mind and Soil.
Maria Teresa P.
I love the worm castings. All my veggies are growing big and healthy.
Elisa A.
I look forward to these kits every year!
Linda C.
I enjoyed using the square foot planting guide for transplanting the brassicas into the garden. They are doing well.
The worm castings and 444 fertilizer is my go to always! The vegetables are so green and lush/healthy looking! I recommend that everyone I talk to about gardening, to give it a try!
Renee G.
LOVE my hori hori knife! It’s much sharper and sturdier than expected. It also comes in a lovely leather sheath. Top quality product!
Kat C.
I feet so confident planting with the worm casts and fertilizer worked in with my trusty hori knife
It's a great combo with my compost.
Knowing Mind & Soil is on the same mission to build living soil - they are a trusted resource.
Best therapy there is to be in the dirt / out in nature .
Deb S.
Love love the kit.
But hey Jordan I would LOVE a constant flow of worm compost. Any way to build a pipe from Squamish to Belcarra
Seriously though. That is the best.
May T.
My veggies are unbelievable. We have been eating CUC’s and zucchini’s for a couple of weeks and our first tomato turned red today (10 July) My flowers are the talk of our complex. I have had a large garden for most of my life, but had to downsize recently. Your worm casings have bridged the gap between having a large compost pile and growing everything in pots Thank you.
Deb C.
I have been using the transplant kit for many years now and absolutely love it, I recommend it to everyone. I live in a Zone 6 and winters are long with lots of snow, this garlic was still covered in snow the 3rd week in April this year. Our growing season is much shorter than most and find that the worm casting and 4-4-4 speed up the whole growing process and the results are wonderful. I was a new gardener 5 years ago and the Transplant Kit has made me feel like an accomplished gardener. Thanks Jordan for the introduction to your product and your helpful videos and Happy Hour gardening tips.
Terri
Buying the kit was the best thing I ever did for my garden. First year my garden boxes are rocking the lettuce spinach and greens. My seedlings are flourishing. The best in customer service. I will be back. I highly recommend Mind and Soil.
Wendy W.
Had great luck with my garlic order!
Kathryn O.
I absolutely love the HoriHori knife.
It is the most useful multi purpose tool I’ve ever used. It is perfect for all my gardening projects. I would recommend it to everyone. I haven’t had a chance to use the super food yet, still using up previously purchased fertilizer.
Tamsin M.
I love the range of planting aids. Haven't used the knife yet, as it will be a birthday gift for my husband, who has increasing mobility issues but still likes to sit on the edge of our planter beds and handle the garlic and other veggies we've planted.
Adam F.
The quality of the transplant kit is excellent. I love the packaging and how easy it is to use. Thank you for a great experience.
Johanna G.
I ADORE this hori hori knife!! I can’t believe I’ve been gardening all my life without one! Before this I was using a rusty drywall knife or an old bread knife to separate my hostas and other prolific plants. It’s been super helpful for planting, as it has measurements right on it. And it’s great for removing leaves, stems, twigs etc.
I got the worm castings and 4-4-4 fertilizer as well and they’ve made all the difference with my flowers and veggies. Love!!
Natalia B.
This was my first time gardening and it was so much more enjoyable than I would have imagined. I watched the Youtube channel videos that were super engaging, informative and easy to follow. Love the transplant kit. My garden goodies were thriving this summer even with very little attention. Highly recommend!
Sherry B.
I grew these pepper plants from seed using the mind and soil seeding starting kit. Each plant (9) grew very strong indoors and then once they were ready to go outdoors I used the transplant kit when moving the plants to bigger pots. Since then the plants have continue to thrive and are now producing fruit! Cannot wait to harvest!
Maria Teresa P.
MY Garden IS a jungle! Everything Grew fast and lots of yields. Great product
Michele H.
My bedding plants are thriving and producing extraordinarily! I did not lose any transplants and have the best garden ever. Great product, would highly recommend!
SUSAN O.
Easy to use and garden looks amazing!
Nancy M.
My tomato crop this year is fantastic, my plants are healthy and very full. There are so many tomatoes this year, I can’t wait to see what the final yield is .
Alison S.
I tried to submit 3 photos but it only let me select one:(. I started Peppers and tomatoes using your seed starter mix then transplanted them with the transplant castings... bigger healthier plants this year than ever before! Very happy with the results so far, thanks Jordan
Suzanne R.
All my plants that I transplanted using the worm castings and the 4*4*4 amendment did so much better than anything I've transplanted in the past (even with just using compost).
The min/max thermometer was fun to work with on my balcony at the beginning of the season. It helped make me aware of the temperature variations and adjust accordingly.
I'm very happy with my "Transplant Kit". It has helped me be an even better veggie gardener in my community garden and on my balcony. Thanks Mind & Soil (Jordan) for your product and for all the Fab garden info sessions!
Shelley K.
This is my new raised bed. Spring was slow this year. I had to keep my plants inside for a couple of weeks before setting out. I decided to harden them off again after living indoors. I followed the directions for the worm castings and special Heart and Soil fertilizer. I used my Min Max thermometer to track the temperatures for hardening off and to monitor the cool nights. I knew the coolest temperatures of my covered plants during the night. So convenient.
Mike N.
The product is great and works so well.
Noreen B.
I used the transplant kit on my tomatoes and borc, and caul. It seems to have given them a good start in spite of the cool wet spring here in the Cariboo.
I also enjoy watching your online presentations.
Many thanks
Noreen Beer 100 Mile House
Jo-Anne C.
Considering the crazy weather conditions The plants are trying their best to grow and produce.
TrongTan H.
It works well and easy to transplant. The plants are doing really well so far
Elaine V F.
Growing in very sandy soil and so far the worm castings and fertilizer have produced the best garden yet . The thermometer was very helpful to know when I could leave plants in the green house
Maria M.
Plants are of course thriving with the worm castings. The min/max thermometer went into the garden right away. You can see it in the pic. Not sure if it’s calibrated correctly though. Thank you for all your awesome YouTube videos. It’s been a huge help.
Tine R.
I absolutely LOVE this Transplant kit! I deliberately waited a bit to review it, as I wanted to see how my little transplanted seedling babies liked it. They LOVE it! I have used this kit in raised beds and also transplanting strawberry seedlings into soil beds. All the seedlings are going gangbusters, looking happy and healthy - to the point where I now use the combination of worm castings and 4-4-4 on EVERYTHING I plant - except for larger trees and shrubs. I am sold on this and am now promoting this wonderful combination products to family and friends.
Delaine F.
The worm castings gave my plants a great soil to start in. I had to replenish some soil in the pots when I was not able to plant the plants out as soon as I would have liked.
Ann W.
My soil and water is high alkalinity 9.0. Water is highly mineralized with off the chart Total dissolved solids. (TDS). In the past I have struggled to grow vegetables successfully even with an automatic water system and careful tending my plants. This year I purchased the Starter kit. The combination of worm castings and small amounts of super plant food has led to more success than I have ever had in this hot, dry desert land (Kamloops). This was in spite of a very long, cool spring. My plants have not shriveled up and died and actually look strong and healthy. Love these products. And the Hori Hori knife is incredibly useful!
Linda Q.
Hori hori knife is very versatile and plants growing well with the worm castings
Sammy Z T.
Excellent product! Definitely recommend it to everyone.
Tammy K.
Love the product getting excellent results
Brenda R.
The plants did get off to a good start, that's for sure!
The plastic package the Gia came in came undone, so there was a little mess to clean up in the box....But I did like the nice sacks it all came in!
Millie H.
It’s been such a cold spring everything is late being planted, so it’s really too early to compare this year and last without the combo
Ask again in a month or so.
Shew Y.
Hi Jordan, I have been using the worm castings and superfood 444 per yr instructions for growing my garlic since last fall. Thanks to your detailed instructions, my garlic plants are looking very healthy & happy as you can see from the photos. The first photo was taken in early Feb. and the other one in May.
I used the worm casting soil mix and also Organic soil mix in starting all my veg. They both performed equally well. Sorry I forgot to take photos. One thing I found out was, those plants that were started in the small 72-cell were a lot smaller than those started in yr 4 inch container even though I put 3-4 seeds in the 4 inch container. So I will use the bigger size container to start my seeds next year for sure.
Blanche B.
It’s been very cold in Jordan River so my plants were really slow. And my starting area was cool too. BUT these plants are now taking off AND the remarkable thing about these little plants is how strong they are! When I watered last year all my little plants would be at risk of bending- this year they wobbled a bit with watering- so anchored and strong. So that’s why I love this starter kit. Blanche
Nan C.
So far only have used the worm castings for my seedlings growth under lights ….. still too cold to transplant at the end of May! My seedlings are definitely more robust this year!
Catherine Y.
My seedlings have never grown as well as this year, the only difference is the worm castings and Superfood from Mind and Soil! I can't wait to transplant them and see how they grow in the garden. I will definitely be using the worm castings and Superfood when I do! I highly recommend these products.
Joanne V.
I can’t believe how fast my seeds started to sprout, how quickly they grew to be strong healthy plants, and now they are big enough to go in their permanent pot. Amazing! I know it is because of the worm castings. Last year I had spindly plants , I didn’t use worm castings. Love, love, love your products, and your helpful videos.
Anne U.
I was finally able to put my plant babies outside last week and they already start looking good and thriving. The knife has become my favorite gardening tool!!
Asha T.
All my happy plant babies - not just surviving but thriving after an upsize of potting before they move to the permanent location. Thank you Jordan
Carley H.
We received the kit in record time and incorporated it into our seed planting this year. Our seeds have grown in record time and all came up healthy and happy! I'm looking forward to using the rest of the kit when we transplant the seedlings into the garden in early June! Loved the packaging too!
Bill M.
This is the first year I am working with the Worm Castings from M&S. I tranplanted these seedlings when they had either 1 or 2 sets of true leaves. Followed the directions and considering the poor, cool growing conditions these seedlings are thriving 2 weeks later and are ready for the raised garden beds. This will definately continue as part of my growing process. Great product.
Elaine V F.
Our soil is very sandy . I used worm castings and 44 4 and strawberries and tomatoe plants doing great
Laurie D.
I’m thrilled with the transplant kit that I purchased from Mind and Soil. This is the first time that I have grown my own seedlings, and now I’m hooked. All of the seedlings are healthy and some are now waiting to finish off their hardening off period. The seeds sprouted quickly and I had a very high success rate. I would recommend Jordan’s kit to anyone that is looking to begin their own seedlings. Impressive! I now think I need another grow light! Thanks Jordan for providing an excellent product for backyard gardeners!
Tara M.
Hello hello city gardener here! My Mind & Soil worm castings have made my downtown plant fam feel right at home and growing strong. Just got started last year and had such great results. Very excited to be off to the races on the second year of our growing journey and love seeing all the other pics here of some pretty amazing green gardens! One day we'll have a raised bed!! In the meantime though these potted transplants are looking pretty pumped for the summer, thanks Mind & Soil!
Therese M.
I’ve been following Jordan from the beginning and have loved seeing Mind and Soil grow. His message of bringing the mental health benefits of gardening to 1,000,000 individuals resonated with me and is something I feel strongly about! Gardening is my outlet and where I can find calm when things around me feel out of control. I used his worm castings transplant kit on my tomatoes and ground cherries last season and they were my most successful plants! I used his seedling mix this season and tomatoes are already sprouting! I’ve also learned so much from his YouTube videos and tutorials. It’s my go-to gardening channel! The videos are full of information and they're delivered in a way that’s easy to follow and so fun to watch!
Helen M.
First time gardener here, planted tomato plants which my Mom started for me from seeds. They seemed to be struggling a few weeks after being planted. I added some Mind & Soil 4-4-4 Superfood and worm casings to each plant, watered them daily and within weeks they were thriving! I wish I had pictures to show you my monster tomato plants! Thank you Jordan!
Carol
I was very pleased with the results of the worm castings and 4-4-4- superfood that I ordered from you last year. Saw very good results with the soil amendments. As my garden is small I will have enough product for this year too. Thank you for introducing me to such excellent plant boosters.
Michelle P.
I think the transplant kit of worm castings & 4-4-4 gave my seedlings a real boost when i moved them into the raised beds. I can recomend this nicely packaged kit.
Saadiya R.
I got introduced to Jordan in a gardening group and it was a pleasure knowing him. I joined the group as a total newbie and Jordan was among those who have helped me in the journey of gardening throughout. I was very excited to know that he was working on launching mind & soil. With his expertise I was sure he will be coming up with great products and I was ready to try. I ordered my first seedling mix and started my seeds with those in 2021. I also used some other mixes to compare, and best results came with mind& soil seedling mix. Later I ordered transplanting kit and used worm casting and super food to transplant some of my plants with it and some without. Again the best result came with mind & soil. My tomatoes, peppers, and brasicass thrived. I would recommend fellow gardeners to definitely give it a try.
Emily T.
Gardening in Alberta with a short growing season means I need as much help as possible if I want all my garden dreams to come true!! Using Mind + Soil's worm castings and seed starting mix have been instrumental in getting my seedlings started and giving them the boost they need as I get them into the ground! I also thoroughly enjoyed attending Jordan's virtual "Happy Hours" and learned so much about seed starting, hardening off my seedlings, and preparing my raised beds for my little babies!
As a teacher, 2021 was a challenging year (as it was for all of us!) and tending to my garden was a huge outlet for me and a way to ground myself and reconnect with the land. Jordan's virtual happy hours also provided an opportunity for me and my sister to reconnect and garden 'together', even though we are a province apart. As somebody with anxiety and OCD, I've found gardening to be a safe place where I can let go of my worries and get my hands dirty!
Sybille S.
I have tried gardening over the last several years with very little luck. When I ran across Mind & Soil with Jordan Mara, I found the YouTube Happy Hours so refreshingly honest and I began to Hope again that maybe if I start small, it might work! I bought some seedling mix and worm castings. I had a very hard year behind me with 24/7 care of my aging and palliative parents and needed something living to care for. Even though winter was just around the corner, I bought a few plants and planted them as recommended by Jordan and hoped for the best. Today I went out on the back porch and was expecting them all to be dead! Wow! What a wonderful surprise! The plants are still alive and some are even blooming! I pinched off the few dead flowers that are proof they had been blooming all along! As I write this the tears of relief come. I took courage and peaked under the leaves and sure enough, the garlic was growing too!! Thank you Jordan for giving me a bit of hope and plants I can enjoy, in the midst of all the tough times!
Zinda F.
I came across Mind and Soil Happy Hours a year ago and now I am hooked! Jordan’s sessions are so informative with just the right amount of helpful information and terrific photos or videos of his own garden to demonstrate. I always learn something new!
During these past two COVID years, these sessions have been terrific for keeping connected
and inspiring me to get out in the garden. A few hours digging in the dirt is the best therapy for feeling better about life! Last year I purchased Worm Castings from Jordan and they made all the difference to my garden. For years I had unsuccessfully tried to grow rhubarb but last year….finally success! My other fruits and veggies also thrived. Can’t wait for this year’s growing season to begin (I’m already inspired by Jordan’s recent Happy Hour: Plan the Perfect Vegetable Garden.)
Janet B.
I purchased a transplant kit from Mind and Soil last spring and used it when moving my seedlings from the starting trays to their forever homes in the garden. I was not disappointed! The plants loved the product and the growth was amazing! Tending my garden provides immeasurable pleasure for me and I provide encouragement to my neighbours and friends so they, too, can enjoy the wonderful mental health benefits that I experience. Some of the most pleasurable moments for me are watching the expressions on the faces of my grandchildren as they pull a carrot they started from seed or pick a fresh pea pod or cherry tomato, still warm from the sun, and pop it into their mouths.
Gail P.
From an early age I seem to recall my mom putting me to work in our garden so I continued to garden. Up until last year, I didn’t really enjoy planting but did it out of necessity. My veggies either didn’t appear, or didn’t produce like I thought they would. In Jan 2021, I joined a group zoom session with Mind and Soil (Jordan Mara), my understanding of gardening took a turn for the better. I knew what I needed to start growing my own veggies from seed. Jordan explained the seedling process much easier than I made it out to be. Immediately after, I got to work, grew my own seedlings with Mind and Soil’s seedling mix and worm castings, transplanted the pots, and structured my garden to produce plenty of veggies. Throughout this process I have a new found love for gardening! Thanks Jordan!
Joyce G.
If you have never experienced the joy of accomplishing more than you can imagine…plant a garden. (Robert Brault). I like to think that my garden is more an ‘ongoing experiment’ than a series of mistakes! Jordan’s education sessions provide gardening wisdom, humour and specific guidance to optimize the success of my experiments. His suggestions are proven, practical and filled with hope. Thank you, Jordan for your encouragement.
Heather W.
Gardening has always been a part of my life. But I haven’t always felt passionately about it. Giving myself time to breathe, working in the garden doesn’t equate to working! Calming. Encouraging. Productive. All things that have become extremely important to me over the years. Also, a successful garden depends on the products you use and what you put into it. Compost, worm castings, keep my garden healthy and ready to grow.
Ken M.
I am enjoying the happy hours and continuing to learn new things. I have never gardened but in retirement am enjoying getting in the dirt and making things grow. I attended your workshop on peppers. I tried to grow them this year and was going to throw them out until learning from your workshop that they are perennials so I revitalized them. Our garlic is doing very well.
Thank you for the confidence to go forward to do more and try new things.
Beverly g.
I am ever so grateful for your garden tutorials and the products that I have purchased. I have been using the worm castings from the kit I purchased after I I took your Planning a Garden workshop. I use your slug control methods with success. Mostly, my garden consists of shrubs and potted flowers that are thriving with the soil compost mixture. Lately, I have been trying to fit vegetables into the landscape.
Gardening is what my mother taught me as a child and I am ever so grateful to have this beauty and serenity in my life. Spending time in my garden enhances my mental well being in so many ways.
Kristi A.
Best thing to come out of quarantine was learning my love of gardening. Through many successes (and a few failures, but still learning) I’ve figured out what I like to grow, what produce I use the most and what will always have a spot in my garden. Jordan gave me thoughtful advice, stellar products and kept my interest by his gardening happy hours. All year long, some days for 10 minutes and some days for 3 hours, I am able to put aside the rest of life and get lost in my little growing world. The best treat is harvesting their goodness, sharing with friends and family and to be able to say, “I grew that”!
Teresa S.
Last summer I followed your tutorial for growing garlic and some other veggies. I used your 4-4-4 superfood. My garlic yield was the best yet! Epic!
Bonnie M.
Last year I finally had the time to take up gardening. I enjoyed every happy hour Mind & Soil offered and I followed Jordans recommendations to the letter. My son and I planted our seedlings using their worm castings and loved watching them grow. Later when my garden was overflowing with tomatoes I used the 4-4-4 superfood to keep them going. I had incredible success! My neighbour’s couldn’t believe it was my first year gardening. It was also such a lovely way to spend my time and unwind from the craziness that was going on around me. I am so looking forward to getting back in the garden this year! Thank you Jordan and everyone at Mind & Soil for introducing me to the mental health benefits of gardening.
Anita P.
The broccoli, kale, zucchini and cauliflower grew very well, much better than the previous year when they were planted in grow bags. I also noticed the peas, beans and sweet pepper seemed to pick up after the addition of the superfood. The plants were all strong and had abundant harvests.
Gardening has brought me so much more to my life. Gardening gets me outside in the fresh air and it gives me a purpose/focal point. Gardening engages my body physically and mentally because there is so much to learn and do. It is really a joyous occasion when the seeds start to push out of the soil and when you taste that first snap pea or fresh carrot from the garden. It is so satisfying to just walk out to the garden to pick fresh lettuce and other vegetables for a meal. It makes me proud of my accomplishment. Growing food centers me, connects me with the present, with the here and now and gets me out of my head.
Diane W.
Amazing tomatoes with your worm casting mix. I have never grown such abundant tomatoes. I have ordered seedling and more worm casting for my start of my indoor seeds. Excited for this summer.
Liz N.
My garden this last season was incredibly productive! I had to revamp my entire garden because of the devastation from voles. I built 6 raised beds with 1/4" stainless steel mesh on the bases and used quality soil blended with compost. I give total credit of the bounty to the products I used from Mind and Soil and the informative Happy Hour Webinars with Jordan Mara. I prepped the beds with compost and 4-4-4 fertiliser, then with my seedlings I planted with the worm castings and again a sprinkle of 4-4-4. Every plant was productive and even produced on a single plant multiple heads of cabbage. The Zucchini "Tree" was my pride and joy. My freezer and canning pantry are completely full, with lots of extra to share with neighbours and friends. I am so looking forward to the coming season, using more products from Mind and Soil in conjunction with West Coast Seeds products. I really appreciate the expansive knowledge and encouragement.
Karen N.
Having grown up on a farm and gardened to some extent all my life, i still learn from your Happy Hours and videos and appreciate the practical tips you share. The quality of the products i have purchased is excellent and the packaging makes it feel like opening a gift to myself - and makes me want to give them to others as gifts also. Your genuine enthusiasm for creating a caring gardening community is uplifting and inspiring. I believe gardening is one of the best things we can do for our bodies, minds and dear planet Earth. Your supportive approach makes gardening feel accessible to everyone. i hope you exceed your goal of 1,000,000!
Sandi W.
I love your products! I followed your Youtube video on bringing a pepper plant in last fall. After pruning and following all the tips, I placed it in your growing medium. By early December it was doing fantastic!! It was exiting to see all the new growth! Sadly it was put to death by months end because of a bug invasion!! In hindsight, I think these bugs, even though I throughly checked, hijacked on the pepper plant from my greenhouse. I will be trying this again though this season. I am anxiously waiting to seed my onions in your worm castings potting soil next week! I have been a gardener for many years. I have always been fascinated by the power of one seed and what it produces! I’ve attached a picture taken last season, where it highlights the French marigolds I grew from seed!
Happy gardening 2022!!
Maureen H.
Jordan’s videos are so good and so helpful. They are not too long and contain excellent practical tips on how to garden well. My friend and I share a garden on her property – we were brand new at the gardening game and had so much fun. We used Jordan’s seeding mix and “magic dust” as I call it and had terrific growth. And.. we made mistakes which we hope to avoid this year, especially overcrowding of the plants. We have used Jordan’s garden planner and are really looking forward to a better result for our brassicas this year.
The garden is our little piece of Eden, so peaceful, so rewarding. I can’t wait to get hands dirty this year, laugh and joke with my friend as we plant and harvest. Such amazing, tasty and nourishing food. Thanks so much for your help, Jordan!!!
Cathy C.
This will be my second year choosing Mind & Soil for my garden needs. Hats off to Jordan for his passion that has fired up so many people to get out and garden, reaping the rewards of a beautiful harvest and the healthy mind-body connection that comes from putting your hands in the soil. I use the Worm Castings Soil Mix and the Superfood for transplanting seedlings. I have used both products for flowers and vegetables with surprising results. Sure, it costs a bit more than buying big bags of name brand soil mixes, but I would rather pay a bit more for a product that is locally made with love and WORKS. The personal service and support is outstanding. Thank you Jordan / Mind & Soil!

Caroline A.
I used M & S worm casting seedling mix and the worm castings and 4-4-4 fertilizer bundle for the first time last year with positive results.
The seedling mix provided exceptional drainage and nutrition so no issues with damping off or yellowing leaves. My pepper and tomato plant babies sailed through the heat dome and produced lots of tasty fruit. Planted in pots with the worm castings and fertilizer, noticed they had such good vigorous growth. No issues with tomato blossom end rot this time either. Theres still a Brussels sprout plant that survived the nasty winter for a yummy side dish in January : )
My garden provides not only delicious nutritious fruit and veg but a respite from the real world. Nothing better than chillin in the garden and watching my plant babies thrive to recharge.

I was introduced to Jordan and the Mind and Soil community at the beginning of the growing season in 2021. As someone who values healthy soil, I decided to purchase their worm castings and super food. I was very impressed by the results! Furthermore, Jordan educated me on the mental health benefits of gardening. Before that conversation, I hadn’t realized how important gardening was for my own mental health. I’m a shift worker and would always spend time in the garden after a night shift as a way to decompress and relax before getting some sleep. I highly recommend Mind and Soil’s gardening products and please check out Jordan’s Happy Hours and YouTube channel if you want to learn how to grow amazing veggies!

I used Mind & Soil's worm castings and superfood when transplanting vegetables and flowers last spring and was amazed by the size and health of the resulting plants. To say their growth was vigorous is an understatement. The bees and hummingbirds loved the huge nicotiana and crocosmia growing in pots on our deck, my family loved the vegetables. Working in my garden, plunging my hands into the soil has always been the best cure for my anxiety, so for the past two pandemic years gardening has been a real solace. Last year's "worm castings garden" was particularly comforting and rewarding. I can't wait to get started on this year's.

Gardening is so much about observation and last year I purchased worm casting soil from “Mind and Soil” to start my seedlings in. I observed a great difference in the strength, sturdiness and generally health appearance of the seedlings grown in the worm casting mix. These seedlings also performed well in the garden becoming strong plants and yielding a bounty of vegetables. Through Mind and Soil on-line presentations I learned that peppers are perennials and this winter I’ve been growing two along with some Mesclun greens for winter salads.
There’s learning from experience, which I do every year in the garden and there’s learning from other’s experiences. Jordan has shared the knowledge he’s acquired through his gardening experiences and I’ve been able to up my gardening game because of that generosity!

Jordan and the team at Mind & Soil provided me with so much quality education and confidence to start my first garden, including building my own garden beds! This experience has not only brought my partner and I closer together, but became such a healthy escape for me during the pandemic. I love starting and ending my day in the garden which nourished and fed us year-round. From the Seedling Mix, to the Worm Castings, to the 4-4-4 Superfood, my garden was healthy and thriving using Mind and Soil products! Highly recommend!"

We have loved being a part of the Mind and Soil family. Jordan's personal touch, detailed video explanations and willingness to touch base personally, have all contributed to a fantastic experience for us as avid home gardeners.
We have attended several happy gardening hours (such a great idea!) and purchased a number of the products and kits available on the website. I trust that using the worm castings this year will make a huge difference and even plan to use some to start my seedlings this year. The YouTube videos have been especially helpful when we attempt something new in our garden.
Thank you, Jordan, for your dedication, great advice and personal investment! We appreciate all that Mind and Soil has to offer. Happy gardening!

I got into gardening almost entirely through Jordan’s Mind & Soil. My sister and I started doing his happy hours (together via Zoom as we are in two different cities and couldn’t be together due to COVID). Before I knew it i had the whole set up! Mind & Soil makes it easy, and produces awesome results. It was a breath of fresh air to focus on something positive, spend time outside, and find a way to connect with family even from afar. My sister even sent me some seeds so we could grow the same things. Gardening gave me a break from my work in frontline healthcare, and helped me keep my mental health in check. It also resulted in tons of fresh and delicious veggies on our table!

Mind & Soil has been an ever-present source of grounding for me during the pandemic. With 3 young kids and at times a need for more home-based activities, the products from Jordan and his team have helped to grow our confidence while planning, executing and nurturing our backyard garden. Additionally, the Mind & Soil community initiatives of providing opportunities for others connect to the earth and benefit from the endless wellness of gardening has been incredibly inspiring and a piece I have been proud to support
