And it's usually the last ingredient listed in those mixes. I'll probably look around a little more for organic this weekend, but if I have to resort to the usual stuff I won't beat myself up about it.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533917819185792443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290506567747688131.post-70231161114599233902009-03-12T22:29:00.000-04:002009-03-12T22:29:00.000-04:00My local garden store did not have any seed starti...My local garden store did not have any seed starting soil without wetting agents, but I was too impatient to start tomatoes and basil that I bought some anyway.

I guess one thing to consider is the amount would be very minimal from a small cell pack of veggies. It would also be unavoidable if any plants were purchase from the nursery. Maybe I should start purchasing organic potting soil. <BR/><BR/>I use pro-mix potting soil by the way, I have found it to be the best quality you can buy. They also have an organic line but I have not seen it around much. I have also thought of mixing by own and storing in a large bin. <BR/><BR/>One other thing to consider from an environmental point of view is almost all soil-less mix is made of peat. It is harvested from bogs and is really hard on the environment.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.com
