Ep. 78 - Seed Starting Mix vs Potting Soil, plus How to Make Your Own

When you walk into the garden center, that potting soil aisle can be absolutely overwhelming. Potting mix, potting soil, seed starter, soilless medium; the variety and possibilities are endless. Which do you choose? And does it really make a difference when you’re starting your seeds indoors? The answer, like most everything in gardening, is … maybe. Today I’m going to talk about the difference between soilless seed starting mixes and regular potting soil and give you the information you need to determine what works best for your unique growing situation. It all comes down to how long your plants are going to be in the starting medium, how often you plan to water, your fungal disease pressure, and maybe just how many seeds you intend to start. And if you want to make your own seed starting mix or potting soil, I've got that for you, too!
