Peat-free Turbo Seed Starter

Peat-free is the way to be! This professionally calibrated mix will give any peat-based potting mix a run for its money. In a head-to-head trial, we observed both root and leaf growth that rivaled our old standby, Ag Blend. We’re proud to offer this high-performance mix by Summer Creek Farm, a certified-organic operation that has been developing and trialing peat-free mixes for the health of plants and the environment since 2005. This reliable mix will keep your plants going strong in their flats for at least 4 weeks. Outstanding water retention; resist the urge to overwater! Use a popsicle stick to probe the center of a cell to see if the tray needs water—overwatering can inhibit good germination. This mix does not make great soil blocks; we recommend the peat-based Fort Vee. 95% of material in this mix is from agricultural by-products. Contains coconut coir, Summer Creek compost, rice hulls, basalt powder, blood meal, feather meal, brown rock phosphate. Made on an organic farm in Maryland. MOFGA
