About Us
Just Gardeners, Helping Gardeners.
We aren't a massive chemical corporation or a high-tech lab. We're a small crew based in Ottawa, Ontario, who got tired of the mess, the math, and the mystery behind "professional" gardening results. Like you, we just wanted a simple way to feed our backyard veggies and indoor plants without turning the kitchen into a disaster zone.
Born in the Dirt
Dirt Tea started because we believed that soil health shouldn't be a mad science project. We saw that traditional compost tea was powerful, but it was complicated—requiring pumps, buckets, and a lot of patience.
We set out to simplify the process. We spent our weekends testing different natural inputs—worm castings, kelp, and alfalfa—until we found a blend that truly worked. No fancy titles, just a deep respect for the microbes that make a garden thrive.
From Our Backyard to Yours
Every single Dirt Tea bag is packed by hand in small batches right here in Ottawa. We don't use giant factory machines; we use our hands to ensure the right mix of natural minerals and microbes goes into every heat-sealed pouch.
By keeping it small-batch, we ensure that what arrives at your door is the same high-quality stuff we use on our own tomatoes and monsteras.
What's Inside (The Raw Truth)
We believe in total transparency. Our Original All-Purpose Blend is built on three pillars of soil health:
Granulated Worm Castings: For natural soil structure support.
Alfalfa & Kelp Meals: Plant-derived ingredients for steady, reliable feeding.
Microbial Support: Specifically selected to help your soil's natural ecosystem flourish.
