So hubs goes to a local-owned hardware store to buy me a bag of peat moss. They didn't have it and instead sold him another kind of peat...coco peat. I hydrated a couple of compressed slabs, mixed equal portions of coco peat, vermiculite, and perlite for my seed starting media.
I have used coconut coir chunks in my media for transplanted seedlings, but this is the first time that I have ever used coco peat for starting seedlings. Just by my mixing it with the other ingredients and seeing and feeling the texture of the media I am inclined to approve coco peat. Time will tell whether this will be my new standard of seedling media.
