You won't find a good seed starter in any store.
You must create it.
I prefer a 1/3 mix of peat, perlite and vermiculite.
The peat is easy to find.
The vermiculite? Go to Menards (or similar) and ask them for vermiculite insulation.
It's about 9 bucks a bag.
Perlite.
Now, that is going to be a problem.
I am lucky enough to have a local hardware store who carries it.
It's $20.00 a bag and I gladly pay it.
If you go to Menards or Home ★★★★★ or Lowes, they will sell you a bag of styrofoam balls and call it perlite.
THAT AINT PERLITE.
Just warning you in advance.
