Choosing your seed starter soil

After a long winter, we always dream of soil and seedlings.

It makes those last cold weeks a lot easier here!

When choosing your soil for seed starters, remember the importance of worm castings. Look at the ingredients and sustainability in soil mixes. Instead of choosing peat moss (its takes over a life time to replace), choose coconut coir and worm castings. Why? Coir is a waste product and worm castings won't burn your seedlings. Plus they add lots of nutrients and goodies to help them grow strong!

Natures most complete plant food!
