Who we are
Mark Highland
Founder and President
“The Organic Mechanic”
At Organic Mechanics, we’re passionate about all natural, sustainable gardening that provides superior results. That’s why our soils are 100% peat-free, made with locally sourced ingredients, and used by professional gardeners at public gardens like Longwood Gardens, New England Botanical Garden at Tower Hill, and the US Botanical Garden.
At the heart of all we do, we share a philosophy that embraces environmental sustainability and regenerative gardening practices. We are actively pursuing the dream of producing the highest quality, most earth-friendly organic potting soils, soil
amendments, and fertilizers available.
This is why we choose to use biochar, compost, and coconut coir instead of peat (and rice hulls instead of perlite in most of our blends), bio-diesel to power our equipment, and recycled products and local ingredients whenever available. We are committed to operating our business responsibly and sustainably.
Factor in knowledgeable, personal service, the superior performance results you’ll enjoy in your garden, and the ability to re-use our soil products for a second growing season, and we hope you’ll agree that Organic Mechanics is indeed the best potting soil you’ll ever buy. Dig your hands into a bag of Organic Mechanics and start gardening . . . your plants will love you for it!
