ok so I live in the mountains and I am doing a huge guerrilla grow 350+ seeds so I do start off my seeds in a cup but that many I really dont wanna but I will if i have too so anybody get lucky and they just come up outta the ground (after germination)
if you wish to haul in composted manures then bring it in add a 6'' layer and amend each cubic yard with around 20 cups of a seed meal blend (1.5 gallons per 70 gallons compost)
this is a relatively hot soil mix but if you let it sit for a few weeks or months then it should be great for planting your seedlings into. to get the advantage of no-till farming the soil health will need to be well and established for success in your first planting. that's why i mentioned a forested spot rich in humuse earlier.
