This variation on Connie Beck's mix (above) substitutes vermiculite (moisture-holding bits of expanded mica), guaranteeing that transplants get off to a good start.
Ingredients and Supplies
1 part vermiculite
1 part compost (sifted)
Milled sphagnum peat moss, or clean, fine sand
Directions
1. Blend vermiculite into compost and fill flats or small (4-inch) pots with the mix.
2. Sow your seeds as directed on the package.
3. Sprinkle a fine dusting of moss or sand on the surface of the mix to discourage the fatal disease called "damping-off" that can infect seedlings at ground level in moist conditions.
