DoomsdaysCW<p>Crafting the Perfect [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PeatFree" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PeatFree</span></a>] Starting Mix for Seeds &amp; Planting Success</p><p>&quot;Seed Starting Mix Ingredients</p><p> - <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CocoCoir" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CocoCoir</span></a> - Coconut husk fiber is the main growing medium in this recipe. Pro-Tip: When purchasing coco coir, pay attention to the product&#39;s grade (or coarseness) and salt content. You do not want chipped shells or particulates in it. I recommend ultra-fine premium grade A compressed coco coir blocks that are already triple-washed to remove salt.</p><p> - Vermiculite - Vermiculite is critical in your seed starting mix. It is an expanded volcanic rock that is very porous, allowing it to hold onto water and nutrients so they don’t drain through the soil.</p><p> - Perlite - Perlite is an expanded volcanic glass used in high-quality seed starting mixes to prevent compaction and allow better drainage. There are different grades of perlite. I prefer using fine to medium perlite. Extra-fine will work, too, but you will need to add more of it.</p><p> - Water - Warm water works best and speeds up the process, but you can also use cold water if that is all you have available.</p><p> - Fertilizer - Most seed starting mixes do not contain fertilizer. Since we are making our own, we can add it right into the seed starting mix. Choose a well-balanced, slow-release fertilizer, such as Trifecta+ and/or a gentle fertilizer like worm castings.&quot; [I plan on using worm castings.]</p><p>Learn more:<br /><a href="https://migardener.com/blogs/blog/starting-mix-for-seeds/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">migardener.com/blogs/blog/star</span><span class="invisible">ting-mix-for-seeds/</span></a> <br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Gardening</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SeedStartingMix" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SeedStartingMix</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SeedStarting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SeedStarting</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PeatFreeStartingMix" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PeatFreeStartingMix</span></a></p>
