Gosh, this thread is freaking me out! I was not prepared to winter sow. So when it came time for me to sow and I went shopping for planting medium there wasn't much to choose from. I didn't panic because I read on Wintersown.org to just plant in what you have. I ended up with Scotts potting mix with moisture control. When I actually went to sow with it I didn't like the texture. So I went back out shopping hoping to get ProMix. Still couldn't find any. Got some Miracle Grow moisture control potting mix and one bag of Miracle Grow organic potting mix. I mixed the Scotts and the organic MG. Put it on the bottoms. Used the MG on top. I did my first 50 some jugs this way.

Then I was reading that Miracle Grow potting mix was NOT GOOD for winter sowing. Well, not much I could do at that point about what had been done.

I was finally able to find some ProMix. So I put some MG on bottom and Promix on top for my next batch of sowing. Geeeze, now I'm starting to freak out about that. I'm going to be super bummed if I messed up another 40 some jugs!!

I keep telling myself NOT to overthink this stuff! Rick, you are making that very hard Green Grin!
