One of our features this week is the story of East Fork Cultivars: using native soil to develop a new, sustainable business model.

They’re in southwest Oregon. But have other outdoor growers found success in their native/local soil? Any experiments?

That’s what I do!

Here is my grow log for this year. Much cheaper than potting soil.

I do disagree that it yields less. Maybe on a per plant basis, but not on a square foot basis.

I think it just depends on where you’re at! In the desert of southern Colorado, the native soil is not very good to grow in (without a decent amount of amendments anyways). But back in Ohio, its black gold native soil.

Those midwest soils are da bomb.
