How do I make soilless vegetable seed starting mix?
Answer
Soilless seed starting mixes available in nurseries are fine for starting vegetable seeds.
A recipe for soilless seed starting mix is
1. 8 parts coco coir or peat moss
2. 1 part vermiculite (helps retain water)
3. 1 part perlite (helps drainage)
4. 1/4 tsp garden lime (use if using peat moss)
Mix well. May store any leftovers in plastic bag for later use.
All ingredients are available at garden centers.
