Q&A - What is the best soil for starting seeds?
Question:
What type of media is best used when starting vegetable seeds indoors?
Answer:
Master Gardener Tom Mashour says using a germinating mix is essential for planting fine seeds. A bag of germinating mix will fill two flats. He then can plant 14 rows of seeds per flat. When the seedlings are large enough he transplants them to containers containing potting mix. For larger seeds he uses potting mix which is less expensive.
