★★★★☆
Great mix once you figure out the secret to using it.
I love container gardening and have done it for over a decade. I have tried so many seed starting mixes over the years, and this one gives me the best results. Yes, there are some little sticks and mulch pieces, but nothing bigger than an inch or so, and they are easily picked out. This mix is very fluffy, almost too fluffy until I learned the secret to using it. You wet the mix before putting it in the pot/tray/eggshell/whatever, then make your hole and add your seeds. If you put it in dry and then try to water it, the water sits on top, the seeds start floating, you get frustrated and want to give up on the whole thing. Since switching to the wet mix method, almost everything we plant grows. Later in the season, when it's time to move seedlings to bigger pots, I mix any leftovers I have with miracle-gro garden soil, some dirt from last years pots, and a bit of sand. This makes the perfect mega mix for all my veggies. I love this stuff and will continue buying it for years to come. Note: Like many people, I rely heavily on Amazon reviews before making almost any purchase, online or in brick-and-mortar stores. I am always honest with my reviews. If I love something, I shout it from the rooftops. And if I hate it, I have no problem telling you that too. If you found this review helpful, please click the button below :-)
