Seed Starter Mix for Indoor Home Gardens, 12 Quart

The Purple Cow Organics Seed Starter Mix has been the exclusive seed starting mix used by Paul and Laura Phelps of Serenity Farm for the past six years. They have been more than satisfied with the product's consistency and performance, stating that it exceeds their expectations. The mix has proven to be a winner, as they have observed excellent seed germination and growth that goes far beyond the suggested usage.

The Seed Starter Mix offers several benefits, including increased germination, good seedling vigor, and sturdy seedlings at transplanting. Additionally, it can save gardeners money by reducing the need for watering and fertility inputs, and it leads to more effective cultivation due to the compact, strong, and upright growth of the plants.

The Seed Starter Mix is crafted on a computerized blending line, ensuring consistent media every time. To use the mix, gardeners should mix one part warm water for every three parts of the mix, stirring until the consistency resembles peanut butter. Then, on a smooth, hard surface, the mix should be mounded to a depth 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 times deeper than the height of the soil blocker.

The soil blocker should be pressed down, twisted a quarter, and lifted, with the properly wetted Seed Starter Mix sticking to the blocker until pressed out onto a plastic tray or growing surface. The blocker should be rinsed with warm water before making the next set of blocks. The seed should be placed in the indentation and covered according to the seed packet instructions, and the blocks should be covered with a clear acrylic dome to prevent drying.

The Seed Starter Mix includes a blend of peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, and more, providing everything needed to start seeds, including enough fertility for up to 45 days. The mix is created using an activated compost base, a premium soil amendment with over 20 years of growing success, ensuring a stress-free, lush garden.

The lightweight 25-pound bag is ideal for indoor home gardeners focusing on a smaller garden or container and raised bed gardening. The mix promotes healthy, vigorous seedlings with strong root systems that are able to withstand transplanting and thrive throughout the growing season.
