Organic Germinating Mix Gives Seedlings a Big Head Start

Can the best seedstarting mix get better? Our tests say yes! This 100% Organic Germinating Mix is the new gold standard for starting plants from seed. Sphagnum peat and perlite give it the same fine texture and superior moisture-holding characteristics as our original Germinating Mix. The addition of compost, protein meal and trace minerals puts this organic seedstarting mix in a whole new league with results that impressed even our most experienced gardeners: faster growth, heftier root systems, and beefier plants. Recommended for all of our seedstarting systems. 6 quarts.

  • Specially formulated mix gives seedlings the best start possible
  • Well-drained blend wicks moisture at the optimal rate for young plants
  • 100% organic, with compost, protein meal and trace minerals

    Comments about Organic Seedstarting Mix:

    As far as I can ascertain, this seed starting mix is well formulated. The seeds certainly seem to like it. My only gripe is that there are large hard pieces that will cause me to sift the mix the next time I use it. Frequently seeds would land on a large clump that I would have to dig out of the seed pots, unlike Gardener's Supply's other seed starting mix, which I also like.

      I start seeds in my basement with lights and a heated pad. These seeds start quickly with the right soil, but not many seedling soils hold enough water.

        Comments about Organic Seedstarting Mix:

        After several years of using other commercial seedstarting mixes and also mixing my own, I tried this. After several years of using it, I highly recommend it to those who are new to seedstarting so they will be successful. With this I don't need to transplant as soon as I previously had to. And this year I am adding the PHC fertilizer so my little sprouts will really have a great start.

          I have found this to be the best medium for starting all my seeds. When used with cowpots and the transplant mix I have yet to have a plant fail.

                  Comments about Organic Seedstarting Mix:

                  I can at this time emphasize that potatoe plants "propel" their growth with this product. Today I planted seeds in the cowpots, using this. I shall assume it and the cowpots will give us fantastic plants "smiling" at us. Therefore, I cannot rate it for vegetables, seedlings, herbs or flowers yet. I'd appreciate an opportunity to send a supplemental report in a few weeks after the progress has been displayed in the cowpots and subsequently in the garden plot. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
