Potting Mix for Your Growing Projects

For all your indoor gardening projects, whether microgreens, starting seeds for the outdoor garden, or propagating plants from cuttings, you need good quality seedling mix. A basic mix consists of peat moss, vermiculite and perlite.
I have had good success with Nurseryland Starter Mix and Black Gold Seedling Mix. I have also used Pamper Your Plant Potting Soil that has earthworms castings added to it. All of these mixes have rarely produced mold.
