I thought peat was the main ingredient in potting mix across the universe.
Maybe said advice was a blunder from down under? You can't really say something like that and not have something to back it up with, imo. Maybe the local peat is different (per article above), I mean are all peats created the same? IDK
In regards to the statement don't believe everything you read:
"Those that read are misinformed, those that do not read are uninformed"
I use a soilless mix too though, although I have used a boatload of potting mix previously as seed starter, the "expense" for a seed starter mix is not really relevant due to how many seeds I sow. This year I got a brick that you squirt down and it grows. Still got some.
