Pfg, Love your yard in CT

As far as seed sowing mix, I have used Jiffy-Mix since last year. I do Deno, then place the sprouted seeds in the Jiffy-Mix. The fine texture is perfect for seeds, even fine seeds, when dampened before use. It doesn't get hard when drying out. According to the bag it is 100% organic and contains:

"45% to 55% Sphagnum peat moss, 45% to 55%vermiculite, and lime for balance pH, and organic wetting agent."

The vermiculite is so fine that you can't recognize it in the bag with peat moss. It is also great for starting cuttings.

Walmart has it . The bag contains 12 quarts. Easily recognize as the bag is gold color.
