Quality


Have had zero problems with any fungus or mold when starting seeds with this mix and they take off growing pretty fast once they germinate


This is high quality seed starting mix


I had purchased some strawberry seeds that received terrible reviews because of a poor germination rate


I usd this just a few days ago and have a near 100 germination rate within a couple days

Price


I was hesitant about paying significantly more for this seed starting soil over a bag from a local hardware store but i’m glad i did


Expensive but works well for my seedlings

Shipping


She was very nice and has shipped the missing bag to me


Glad i got these early on and my seeds have sprouted quickly with them


Im excited the seedlings came up so quick

Competitiveness


I ran out of this seedling mix and used another brand definitely notice a difference in the soil quality


I can honestly say that that in comparison to any seedling mixes potting soils or garden soil this is the best stuff out there


Not any little sticks or clumps that ive experienced in other brands


I made the mistake of purchasing another big name brand and deeply regretted that purchase
