In the mix…

Seedling mix

My late winter farming friends: perlite, vermiculite and peat moss, the raw ingredients for a standard seed starting mix. For most veggies and herbs, I mix all three in equal parts, although a combination of any two would likely do as well. It’s soilless (no bacteria, sterile), holds water well and allows oxygen to get around…all a seed really needs in the way of ground to get started.
