It feels great to work with; I used some for seed starting....I had a hard time telling if it was wet though
Between the seed starting and filling 2 containers, I went through more than 2 bricks.
I found it excels in cloning. I would stick tomato parts that broke off in WS and they rooted quickly.
I am going to use the rest of the 3rd brick for just cloning.
I will buy more only if I end up ordering from GHM.
BTW - I started with 4 in my cart at GHM and shipping was $9.99
I ended up putting 7 and shipping remained at $9.99
Shipping finally changed to $12.99 when 8 units were added.
(8 also pushed the base total to over $100)

Kurt - do you reuse your potting mix? How did it hold up the 2nd/3rd time around? Mine got mixed in the peat based stuff getting solarized.

Never reused medium.All rootballs from containers end up almost solid with growth.They all get shook out into bases of trees, lawn thatch replenishment,and in some cases a amendment to some large container plants(papaya,orange,lime, patio plants).I worry about possible disease carryover.Fresh seeds,fresh medium seems to work best for my regimen.
