🌱Make your own high quality SEED STARTING MIX! Easy to do and it will save you $$$ instead of buying those expensive small bags (which I, personally, can go through really quicklyl)
🌱Also YOU can choose the raw material that goes into it! For example, I prefer coca-coir over peat moss. Add some perlite, and vermiculite, and a bit of compost, and you’ve got the best seed starting mix that money can buy…for a lot less!
🌱When it comes to starting seeds, I like to keep things STERILE, so this is one of the few times I use store bought compost, since it is not as alive as my home made compost. Since I start my seeds indoors, I have less fungal issues if the soil is sterile.
🌱BONUS: You can easily convert any extra seed starting mix into potting soil by adding more compost and some granular fertilizer to it!
Do you make your own seed starting mix and potting soils? Please share your favorite recipe!
