opinions about Master Mix

12 years ago

A company in Quakertown makes a potting mix called Master Mix. Will someone who has tried it tell me how they liked it? I was thinking about using it for winter sowing in place of Miracle Grow, because my last bag of that had quite a few large pieces of material in it, which did not work so well for seed sowing! Thanks for your input.

Hoping you tried our Master Mix and can tell us what it was like.
When using potting soil to start seeds, you may get some bark. Actually a good thing when growing plants already with roots .
Look for something labeled - "Seed Starter" mix, it will contain only very fine peat, etc -- screening out all the larger particles.
