I spent my first five years in Bossier, Rajat. My mom taught school there. Way, way, way before you were born. Whistling

First off, if you are germinating seeds, you don't want fertilizer in the media. Fertilize (lightly) after the seedlings are well along.

Also, using a "seedling" media is advantageous. You can purchase that in small bags. You also want to keep the media moist at all times. Not soppy-wet, just moist. That's where seedling media helps. It is made to retain moisture yet is well-draining. Also, and this depends on the ambient temperature where the seeds are being started, bottom-heat can be advantageous.

I hope I haven't given you too much information, but the more things you do right from the start, the better results you'll have.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
