non-peat seed starters? [View all]
Sorry if this topic has been covered before ... I could not search because 'search' has been disabled due to high level of activity at DU.
Does anyone know of a reliable seed starter or homemade mix that does not use peat? I've been reading up about peat sustainability, and I've seen a lot of conflicting information. There's also conflicting information about using materials like coconut coir and other materials.
Not vegetables. I'm growing native plants for wildlife--insects, birds, small mammals. A lot of plants. This year, I had fairly good success using standard ProMix for starting the seeds.
I've got a lot invested in these seeds so I'll probably use ProMix again for many of them. But I'd like to plant some seed in a non-peat medium to see what happens.
If anyone is interested in native plant gardening, please check out Doug Tallamy's website.
