Hi all

Is there a consensus of opinions as to adding the DE to our regular seed starting mediums to maybe improve root structure and maybe not dry out so readily. I am thinking maybe 30 to 40 percent to metro360. I am also thinking maybe 50 percent to the potting up medium. Has anyone tried these experiments yet??
