      Comments about Germinating Mix, 9 Qts.:

      I've been using this germinating mix ( along with APS) for over 10 years. I have huge success with my seedlings and they require very little care due to the "wicking" power of this great soiless mix. Highly recommend for anyone doing seed starting.

                  I've been using this mix with my APS systems and with Jiffy Pots for several years. I've never had any trouble getting the seeds to come up. Also, it absorbs bottom watering very well. A very versatile soil starting mix.

                    I bought the Germinating Mix to use with My Greens - to grow greens indoors during the winter. Most of the seeds germinated in just a few days, and the plants are thriving.
