Starter mix
Great seed starting mix, a little heavy on sticks, but still good mix.
Example: Mark Twain –
Not really a “seed starter” medium. Spring starts failing.
I’ve been starting seeds for a vegetable and flower garden for 25 years and I was drawn in by the marketing of this (yucca, worm castings etc…) and the price was reasonable but this mix did not work out at all for me. It is full of twigs and other large chunks. It does not retain moisture well and my germination rate was the lowest its ever been. The seeds that did manage to break through this heavy mix look very stressed and are not developing like they usually do. It looks like I’ll need to buy tomato plants from a nursery for the first time in 25 years.Buyer beware–avoid this product.

As expected.
Good performance, a bit chunkier than I’d use for seedlings.
Theresa –
Great price, too chunky for seed starting
This is more like regular potting soil. It has large pieces of bark and sticks and some small stones. It could be sifted and used for starting seeds, but as is it was much too chunky and not fluffy enough. After adding water and planting seeds it became rock hard after a couple days. Seeds had trouble growing through the compacted soil. If you sift it and add some coco coir or something to fluff it up, it works great for starting seeds.
Debra Perkins –
This is not the texture of Seed starting mix.
When I saw this, I was excited to try it as it had everything in the product that I wanted. However, when I started to use this to start my seeds this week, I was surprised by how many big sticks and pebbles were in it. There were large clumps of stuff that was hard to breakdown. I think it needs to be broken down more.I will see how my seeds fare and if it turns out great, I will update my review. If I purchase again, I will have to sift it to a finer consistency, so it is more to my liking.

Great Seed Starter
This is, by far, the best seed starting mix I have found and at a good price. I start a small pot every week for the purpose of growing a continual supply of fresh greens for my indoor only cats. The soil easily soaks up water, unlike other starters that seem to be water resistant. I water the soil down, throw the seeds on top, and cover with a little more starter mix. Water down and 48 hours later they break soil. The starter mix also soaks water up, from the bottom, better than any other mix I have tried. I water from the bottom so as to not disturb the seeds. Very happy. I will be buying more as this is a year round process.

Not at all as described. It’s just twigs & dirt.
This product is NOT a seed starter. It has nothing it claims to have, and is nothing but low quality twigs and dirt. I couldn’t even fill my seed starter trays, because it’s 90% twigs. I’ll be honest, it looks like they just scooped up some Georgia swamp dirt, and packaged it as something fancy. There is no drainage because the twigs retain the moisture, it smells like rotted wood and looks (appearance) nothing like any seed starter I’ve ever used. I went ahead and planted some seeds in it. If I actually grow a plant, I will update my review.

Dry mulch is the majority of this product.
My seeds never took off at all in this mixture. I used a peat/soil mix after this, and did get my seedlings. It is dry, full of mulch like sticks and dry large wood shreds. Very disappointing and it was less than I would have had if I planted directly into the ground. Sorry, but this product is not a winning seed starter by any measure for my climate (Northen Illinois.)
