FoxFarm soil conditioners, potting mixes and fertilizers are for gardeners preparing beds, filling containers and feeding plants through growth, flowering and fruiting. Happy Frog Soil Conditioner is a nutrient-rich amendment for working into existing soil. Start with the job your soil needs done.
FoxFarm Soil & Fertilizer Company originated in Humboldt County, California. The company dates its founding to 1984. Its products include soil mixes, fertilizers and liquid plant foods.
Happy Frog Soil Conditioner for existing soil
Happy Frog Soil Conditioner fits the job when you’ve already got soil and want to amend it. In an established bed, drainage and fertility deserve attention before another bag goes in. A soil test gives you a useful starting point for deciding what nutrients to add.
Measure the planting area and follow the conditioner bag’s application rate for your situation. Work the amendment through the planting soil so roots grow into a consistent mixture.
Count a nutrient-rich amendment as part of the bed’s fertility. Treating every struggling plant as hungry is an easy mistake. If a plant wilts while the soil is wet, check moisture and drainage before adding more feed.
Organic status belongs to the individual product
FoxFarm offers products with OMRI listing and CDFA Organic Input Material registration. Organic status is product-specific. For an organic garden, choose by the listing or registration on the individual product label.
Match the mix and feed to the growing method
Happy Frog Potting Soil is designed for containers and includes soil microbes that can help improve root efficiency and encourage nutrient uptake. FoxFarm Raised Bed Planting Mix is intended for fruits, flowers, vegetables and herbs.
Grow Big is a liquid concentrate fertilizer for vegetative growth, so its job is feeding the leafy growth stage. Cultivation Nation’s three-part liquid program supplies Grow for vegetative growth, Micro for micronutrients and Bloom for fruiting and flowering.
FoxFarm offers a 12-week feeding schedule for gardeners managing a more advanced program. Keep a record of fertilizer applications so the next feeding accounts for what you’ve already added.
Handling soil amendments
Keep bagged soil amendments dry at ambient temperature, away from heat and open flames, and out of reach of children and pets. Handle the material gently to avoid creating airborne dust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is FoxFarm organic?
Some FoxFarm products have OMRI listing or CDFA Organic Input Material registration. That status applies to individual soils and fertilizers, so check the specific product’s label. Natural ingredients alone aren’t proof that a blend qualifies for organic growing.
What’s in FoxFarm Ocean Forest potting soil?
Ocean Forest contains aged forest products, sphagnum peat moss, earthworm castings, bat guano, fish emulsion and crab meal. It’s a potting soil, so it belongs in the mix-selection part of your planting plan; it isn’t a substitute for following fertilizer directions.
How do you use FoxFarm fertilizer?
Use FoxFarm fertilizer at the rate and interval on the individual product’s label. Measure each dose, and follow the dilution directions when you’re using a concentrate. More fertilizer won’t fix poor drainage, and an extra-heavy dose can damage roots.
What is FoxFarm Grow Big used for?
Grow Big is a liquid concentrate for vegetative growth, the stage when your plant is building leaves and stems. For a hydroponic setup, there’s a separate formulation specifically designed for that growing method. Match the formulation to your setup before working out the dose.
What is FoxFarm Big Bloom used for?
Big Bloom is a liquid plant food formulated for all plants and intended to support repeated blooms through the growing season. It can be used every time you water, at the label’s application rate. That feeding frequency isn’t a reason to water soil that’s still wet.
