For seedling success, do you
For seedling success, do you need special compost created especially for seeds to germinate? Often not!
In this new video, I show how to make your own seed compost, and how it's needed only for small seeds.
For little seeds, ensure good drainage by adding up to 50% vermiculite or perlite, to your normal multipurpose/potting compost.
For most seeds including onions and brassicas, you can use 100% potting / multipurpose compost.
Germination and growth are stronger when you use decent trays. Preferably module trays, for better drainage than non-partitioned seed trays. I designed my CD trays to facilitate drainage and root-air.
The small and tapering cells with a large bottom hole do not waterlog. So you can use normal potting compost for germinating most seeds. The polypropylene has a shiny smooth surface that helps plant rootballs to slide upwards. When sliding plants out, there is little or no damage to the roots, and none to the tray which is solid and made to last.
