I used to get MG and found some of the same problems other folks had. For seed starting I use Fafard's Superfine Germinating Mix. Super fine soil lets the seeds easily sprout.

For regular soil, I started using from Kmart of all places, there K-Gro Premium mix. Lots cheaper than MG. Finer texture than MG. No sticks or clumps. Soil is lighter in weight too and my plants love the stuff.

With the K-Gro I no longer have to buy bags of vermiculite and perlite to add to to MG.

I read somewhere that Jungle Soil Professional Growers Mix is available again. I used it for many..many years until production and sales had stopped.
