Hey all,

I am looking to make a diy seed starting mix that is reliable. As of now we have been using 1 part coco coir, 1 part vermiculite and 1 part compost. I would love recommendations for improvement on ratios, ingredients and nutrients additions. Thanks!!! We have access to work castings.

Taylor, if you find that this mix is working for you my suggestion would be to go for it.

Here are some threads that might offer you or others some suggestions:
