HIGH All, welcome to the City smokeythedawg!!!!!

Regular garden soil or potting soil are too dense for the roots of your tiny seedlings. A good seed starting mix will be a soil less mixture of sphagnum peat moss, vermiculite and perlite. This blend will hold moisture, but also be light enough to provide air and room for the seedling's roots.

What we use and only use is Sunshine Mix#4..which has Canadian Sphagnum Peat ,Perlite (high rate), Wetting Agent, Dolomitic Lime, Gypsum. We buy the 3.8 cu ft bales which fills around 50 1gl pots.
