adding fertilizer to seed starting coir.

Greatgardens · April 17, 2018

**IF** you were going to add a small amount of dry organic fert. to a coir seed starting mix, what would it be? I'm looking for a bit of "insurance" since I typically let my first plants get very large before going outside. For example my Rejina Red plants are now a full foot tall.

My initial thoughts are Burpee Bone Meal. 6-8-0 or one of the others that is typically 0-10-0, but leaning to the Burpee. Or can you suggest something you think might be better?

BTW, I've done "no additions" for many years -- I'm looking for potential improvement.
