Does anybody know of a good and environmentally friendly soil mix to start small and light seeds in? (like chamomile for example, or other medicinals) THANK YOU
I read on perlite, vermiculite and prefer not to use them as they take a lot of energy in the production process, and of course no peat!

I use 1/3 coco-coir, 1/3 worm castings and 1/3 coarse sand.
It holds just enough moisture and also drains well.

There will be plenty of time to discuss your objections when and if you return. The cargo is this tiny ad:
