Seed Starter Compost Blend

A blend of Holiday Brook Farm's ‘Black Gold’ compost, sphagnum peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite. It is screened to 1/2", making it easy to use in 98 cell trays or similar propagation trays. This light-weight soil blend allows for proper drainage while retaining moisture and nutrients, speeding up the germination process and encouraging a strong root system for vigorous, healthy seedlings. Holiday Brook Farm uses this blend as their base mix and adds nutrients as needed. It typically takes 6-8 weeks before plants start showing signs of needing amendments added to the soil blend. At this point they add dehydrated chicken manure (check out Kreher Family Farms for an OMRI listed source) for slow release nitrogen. Other trace minerals can be added at your discretion, but they've found that the compost has enough nutrients to keep plants growing strong until they can be transplanted to their permanent location.
