I'm wondering if there are some vegetables which are much more difficult to germinate and therefore require much better starting soil than others.

I've never bought it. I used some of those jiffy pot things but only because my dad got a bunch of them at a local auction for $3 for the whole kit and kaboodle. I do use the same mix ibuse for the pots though so I guess that is about the same as paying for seed starting mix. I think with the path uou are going you should try everything in your own and see how it goes. I'm guessing the tomatoes and cucumbers will be the most particular but I could be wrong.
