Re seed starting mix -- I just chip off what I need from a compressed bale of Pro-Mix. A lot quicker and cheaper for me, as I almost always have a bale or two in the garage anyway.
Two bales, eh? Wow... I don't have that kind of stockpile, but I suppose eventually I'll load up. I don't recall seeing Pro-mix here, but I will look some more. Is this just plain Pro-Mix, or is there a specialized seed starter? I'm guessing Pro-Mix is just a non-soil growing mix that also makes a great seed-starting medium..?

As far as potting soil goes, I simply won't use it for seed starting -- learned that one the hard way. Thought it worked great until the first time I had a problem with it. Wink
Well, it seems like maybe I'm doing that bit of learning myself. I'm hoping that's all it is, but I'm not feeling confident either way. I'm really hoping that the mix I've got now will do well for seed starting.

...that and maybe some new light fixtures.
