Hi, Has anyone tried burpee's organic seed starting mix? I bought 4 bags this year for the first time. Expected good results from an organic mix- has coconut coir and composted chicken manure and feather meal,perlite and plant food. Alot of the seeds did not come up -even very fresh good ones. I hardened off the ones I did get and planted them outside. The tomatoes are finally growing well ( I plant them deeper for better roots) but most of the rest are stunted . I had zinnias and calendulas that I put in various places around the yard- none have grown much while the few self sown calendulas are doing ok. I looked on line but could not find any info about this mix except sales pitches. I still have plenty of the mix left, not sure what to do with it. I usually make my own but could not this year.
