I use a sterile, light and airy, soiless mix with some peat but mostly vermiculite in the mix. Brand name does'nt matter and price means nothing. This is strickly a seed starting mix. Perhaps germination mix would be a better term. The seedlings have all the energy they need for the first week or two before I pot them up into a homemade mix that is heavy in compost and/or composted manure.
