Kamon's Seed Starter Mix
- 50% Compost
- 40% Peat Moss
- 10% Sand
If you're making a large quantity try adding the sand small bits at at time so it mixes well. So far I've planted flats of lettuce, spinach and chard using this mixture and they're doing incredibly well. The mix has just enough to bulk to hold moisture but enough grit to drain properly.

mwahaahaaha!!! **steals recipe** I hate using commercially-produced seed-starter... I like to know what's in my dirt :-/ And in my experience, the store-bought seed-starter is fine and dandy for getting the seeds started, but I have to plant them into different soil pretty quickly or the seedlings don't do well.
ReplyDeleteDitto to what she said^.:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe! I'll have to try it out once I get meself some sand...
Way to go! It really is superior to anything you can get at the store...you'll see what I mean.
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about gardening but that sounds like a really loaded mixture. What's mildly amusing about seed-starting, no matter what soil mix you use, is when the plants are two and a half feet tall, but the weather hasn't improved enough to put them in the ground!
