An organic composition for use as ground covering capable of supporting plant life is presented. The organic composition is a mixture of filtration waste and topsoil, dirt, manure, wood chips, leaves, and/or sand. The filtration waste further includes carbon, diatomaceous earth, and sugar removed from filtering equipment after the refinement of raw sugar. In some embodiments, the filtration waste promotes the proliferation of organisms which decompose wood chips, leaves, and/or manure. The organic composition is applicable as a material applied within an area at a thickness which allows new plant growth, as an additive onto the surface of an area to promote plate growth, or as a component for mixture with soil as a soil supplement to promote plant growth.
