I know -- everyone seems to hate that stuff... but yes, it works for me, for whatever reason (and it's readily available). On the other hand, I've tried "real seed-starting mix" and had terrible results. I suspect the reason is that I tend to be an under-waterer, whereas most people seem to report problems related to over-watering. Shrug!



I always wondered how people used those peaty mixes without drowning and rotting seeds.

I guess you add water the way my dad added vermouth to martinis: let the soil SEE the water from about 12" away. Briefly.

"Hi. My name is Rick. I'm an over-waterer."
