I ran across this article and thought that I'd share it.  Has anyone else heard anything more about this?

They have a web site at http://www.gaiasoil.com/

It looks interesting...I've emailed them requesting more information, and I'll post what I find out!

Here was the reply:


Tom,

thanks for your inquiry.

GaiaSoil costs $120 a cubic yard, plus shipping.
it is critical to note that GaiaSoil is technically a subsoil, analogous to the B soil horizon.
It works by covering the GaiaSoil with a jute-coconut matting or analagous material,
top dressing with compost and mulch (planting through this layer with a utility knife,
or planting seed under the compost).

The process is shown in the attached.
