đŸŒ± The Low Tox Edit: Why You Should Be Using Organic Soil at Home

 

When it comes to low-tox living, most people start with skincare, food, or cleaning products—but have you ever considered what’s in your garden soil?

Whether you're growing herbs, houseplants, or veggies, the soil you choose matters, in this edition of The Low Tox Edit, we’re diving into why organic potting mix is a better choice for your health, your home, and the planet.


What Is Organic Soil?

Organic soil is made from natural ingredients like compost, aged bark, coconut coir, and beneficial microbes—without the synthetic fertilisers, chemical wetting agents, or fungicides found in conventional potting mixes.

It’s designed to feed plants naturally, support healthy root systems, and encourage living ecosystems in your soil, which is especially important when you're growing edible plants or have kids and pets around.


Why Choose Organic Soil for Low-Tox Gardening?

Here’s why switching to organic soil is a smart step in your low-tox lifestyle:

✅ No Synthetic Chemicals – Safer for humans, pets, and pollinators
✅ Better for Soil Health – Supports beneficial bacteria and fungi
✅ Ideal for Edible Plants – No chemical residues near your food
✅ Kinder to the Environment – Avoids chemical runoff into waterways
✅ Healthier Indoor Air – Conventional soils can release volatile compounds indoors


Where to Use Organic Potting Mix

  • Veggie patches & herb gardens
  • Indoor potted plants
  • Balcony or container gardens
  • Children’s sensory play gardens
  • Pet-friendly planting areas

Whether you're a seasoned green thumb or just getting started, using organic soil is one of the easiest ways to create a safer, healthier home environment—and a more sustainable one, too.
