Miracle-Gro Indoor Potting Mix for Seed Starting, For Starting Vegetable, Flower, and Herb Seeds Indoors, Excellent for Cuttings, 8 qt. (2-Pack)

Great & affordable seed starter. Just a little recommendation to pour out your desired amount in a bucket add water to mix first before adding to your container. Mixture is easier that way. My seeds are already growing beautifully & holding the water needed for growth.

Exactly as described. Perfect for seed starting

This is a superior product, I could smell the richness of the soil before I even opened the bag. The mix is, like others say, a bit hydrophobic, meaning it takes some time to begin absorbing. . I hastened this process by using hot tap water. First dribble some water on top of the seed tray to soak the top surface. Then, with a measured 6 cups of hot water, lift a corner of the tray and gently pour the entire contents in. Make sure the tray is level, if not, some parts will stay dry. Wait 30 minutes, then check under the pots to make sure all the water has been absorbed. Check the soil in either end to be sure the soil is well moistened. Then you may commence planting your seeds. Additional hints: I added a tablespoon of Alaska Fish Fertilizer 5-1-1 to the 6 cups of water. This is available at Walmart, and is worth every dime you pay for it. Just a little goes a long way, that large bottle will last you a long time, be sure you read ALL the directions first. A heat mat and grow lights will increase your chances of seed germination by 80%. I'm looking forward to a bumper crop of hot peppers this year!

I like this mix because it has fertilizer in it so the seedling are fed after germination. It's light and fluffy and easy for seeds to germinate. I have had about a 90% germination rate using Jiffy Seed Starting Mix

I love container gardening and have done it for over a decade. I have tried so many seed starting mixes over the years, and this one gives me the best results. Yes, there are some little sticks and mulch pieces, but nothing bigger than an inch or so, and they are easily picked out. This mix is very fluffy, almost too fluffy until I learned the secret to using it. You wet the mix before putting it in the pot/tray/eggshell/whatever, then make your hole and add your seeds. If you put it in dry and then try to water it, the water sits on top, the seeds start floating, you get frustrated and want to give up on the whole thing. Since switching to the wet mix method, almost everything we plant grows. Later in the season, when it's time to move seedlings to bigger pots, I mix any leftovers I have with miracle-gro garden soil, some dirt from last years pots, and a bit of sand. This makes the perfect mega mix for all my veggies. I love this stuff and will continue buying it for years to come. Note: Like many people, I rely heavily on Amazon reviews before making almost any purchase, online or in brick-and-mortar stores. I am always honest with my reviews. If I love something, I shout it from the rooftops. And if I hate it, I have no problem telling you that too. If you found this review helpful, please click the button below :-)

A good quality seed starting mix.

Used for transplanting cuttings started in water. Not as heavy for the tender roots. Two bags for the price I would have gotten one at a local Big Box

My plants are super healthy with this soil! Moisture retention is great.

Fantastic! My sprouts showed in less than a week. They are strong and beautiful!
