In 2008, TMT Enterprises introduced the Terra Vida™ line of "living soil" materials. We recognized the value of promoting beneficial soil biology and the use of organic nutrients, not only for the plants, but for our environment. Organic farmers and gardeners have been using these principles for years and we felt it was time to bring the same approach to commercial landscape and nursery applications.
Terra Vida™ living soils by TMT Enterprises represents a huge step forward in the way we treat all of our planting areas. Whether it's a back yard vegetable garden, color beds, on-structure or even roof-top garden, the success of our plants depends on our ability to provide for the overall health of the soil we plant them in.

Healthy plants, healthy produce and a healthy environment all require healthy soils.

Healthy soils require rich populations of tiny organisms, which perform many different functions. Without them, the soil is literally dead and your plants are likely not far behind.
Terra Vida™ living soils are made up of a balance of all-natural materials. These products work together, creating the healthiest, most sustainable environment for plants of all types. Healthy plants and a healthy environment begin with healthy soil.
The foundation of Terra Vida™ living soils is the rich biological diversity and nutrients found in our Organic Compost, Coir, Vermicompost (AKA Worm Castings) and our own proprietary blend of 100% organic fertilizers. These materials are teeming with microbial activity, are very rich in nutrients, aid greatly in moisture and oxygen retention in the root zone and are all sustainably manufactured.
