Jonathan Green & Sons Love Your Soil Organic Soil Food 18 lb — Feeds Soil Biology, Improves Moisture Retention

Jonathan Green & Sons Love Your Soil Organic Soil Food is a natural, granular soil conditioner that feeds soil biology to improve structure, moisture retention and nutrient availability for up to 5,000 sq. ft.

This organic soil amendment is blended to boost the life inside your soil rather than merely delivering soluble fertilizer. Applied as a top dressing or mixed into planting beds, it helps break up compacted earth, increases porosity so roots can access air and water, and supports a healthier ecosystem for lawns, gardens and landscape beds.

How does this product improve soil without synthetic fertilizers?

Love Your Soil relies on organic ingredients that feed microorganisms and build humus rather than supplying quick-release salts. Over time those biological processes create more stable, naturally available nutrients and better soil aggregation.

• Contains a mix of slow-release organic matter and mineral components that nurture microbes.
• Promotes development of humus, improving long-term fertility and structure.
• Reduces reliance on chemical inputs by enhancing natural nutrient cycling.

Will it help my lawn and garden retain water so I can water less often?

Yes — by improving soil texture and organic content, soils amended with Love Your Soil hold moisture more effectively and reduce surface runoff. This improvement means plants can access moisture for longer periods between irrigations, supporting healthier root systems.

• Increases organic matter to improve moisture-holding capacity in sandy soils.
• Enhances crumb structure in clay soils to reduce puddling and improve infiltration.
• Helps roots explore deeper, accessing stored soil moisture during dry spells.

How do I apply the 18 lb bag for 5,000 sq. ft. — and how often should I use it?

The 18 lb package covers up to 5,000 square feet as a maintenance top dressing when used at recommended rates. Application frequency depends on existing soil health; many homeowners apply it once or twice per year to maintain improved structure and biological activity.

• Top-dress evenly across lawn or beds and lightly water in to activate microbes.
• For new installations or compacted soils, incorporate into the top 2–4 inches during renovation.
• Repeat annually or seasonally based on soil tests and plant performance.

What plants and situations benefit most from this soil food?

Love Your Soil is versatile for lawns, vegetable gardens, flower beds and established landscapes where improving soil life and structure is the goal. It’s particularly useful when soils are sandy, compacted, or low in organic matter.

• Lawns needing better root development and drought resilience.
• Vegetable gardens for improved nutrient availability and plant vigor.
• Flower and shrub beds where long-term soil health is desired.

Who is this for: Homeowners, landscapers and organic gardeners seeking to build healthier soil without synthetic fertilizers will find Jonathan Green & Sons Love Your Soil Organic Soil Food especially useful. It’s suited for people who want a maintenance-friendly solution to improve moisture retention, encourage strong roots and foster the biological activity that supports resilient lawns and gardens.
