I used to use Coast of Maine seed starting mix but it changed this year and has become chunky and horribly hydrophobic. Now I use Black Gold and it takes bottom watering 5-10 min (depending on the size of cells you’re using) to saturate vs the hours I was stuck waiting around for CoM to rehydrate. A word of advice: set a timer to what it takes to saturate 50% of your cell/container/etc or it will become too saturated. In about a hour it will have soaked through the whole cell. For me that’s 4-5min. The wetting agent in here works ridiculously well. I have found that sometimes I need to add more perlite because the wetting agent works so well + holds on to moisture a little too much. My peppers and tomatoes have struggled in it, so I started adding perlite for them. Once you get the hang of it, works absolutely wonderful. Great growth. Quality mix. Love the wetting agent (though it takes some time to get used to). Watch the price on desertcart sometimes it drops really low and I can scoop up a bunch of bags! Review: 8 gt size. Basically zero clumps and v clean. Nice and black. Looks good. - This is nice and black seeding mix the way I personally like it. Must be filtered as clean as can be. I did add 3 small handfuls of black roots vermiculite to the bag. I want good water retention in my seeding mix but this looks good the way it is. For my growing dirt I add plantonix perlite for good drainage but thats just me. I spread this out in my dirt tub and misted it 6.2 ph out in the sun hopefully to get rid of any gnats if any. Did not see any hatch at all but being organic it is a fact of life so taking no chance's for inside. ## Features - Use for germinating seeds in flats, pots and plug trays. - Fine textured and water-retentive for excellent seed germination. - Includes an organic wetting agent to provide uniform water absorption. - Gives your vegetable and flower seeds the best possible start. - Contains RESiLIENCE our silicon-enriched additive that may improve resistance to wilting. - OMRI Listed for organic growing. - Fine textured and water-retentive for excellent seed germination.

I bought some organic soil by miracle gro once and there were pieces of plastic in it. Yucky. **Q: Should I use this alone or mix it with another soil.** A: Use it alone, it is perfectly blended for seedlings. The only alteration may to be adding perlite. **Q: Doe water absorb into this soil when you water the new seeds ? Or is it so light & fluffy that it just bubbles on top & doesn't absorb into the soil ?** A: It did absorb the water. However we wet the soil and let it sit over night and then put the seeds in **Q: What are all of the organic materials in this mix? Is it made with Bio Sludge?** A: I used this soil to start pepper seeds. I started and kept the seeds indoors, and all died. I pored the soil out of the starter kit and restarted the seeds with yard topsoil, and all the plants lived and are producing peppers. This soil is overpriced, and I did not have good luck with it. I will not recommend this soil. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this stuff, though sometimes it holds too much moisture *by S***. on May 18, 2025* I love this stuff.
