Light + fluffy mix for seed starting
These wet wipes are very convenient for on-the-go use. I keep a couple in my purse because the packets are a better size than the 10-20 wipe packs. I also don't need them too often while out and about. So when I have a bigger pack, many wipes tend to get dried out, which actually means more waste overall than these individually packaged ones.The wipes themselves smell pleasantly clean. They are a good size and reasonably durable.The only thing to note is there is aloe as well as added fragrance in these.I ordered the 3-in-1 Seed Starting. I was initially worried about fungus gnats, due to the other reviews. Thank goodness, I haven't had any issues so far (even with heavy watering for some of the seedlings). Just be sure to open it outside to be able to get a good look to make sure nothing happened along the way. It's always a concern, you know?The soil itself is very light and fluffy. It is not too heavy on bark chips, which I greatly appreciate. (Some mixes go HARD, yeesh!).Similar to other organic seed starting mixes I've used, it takes a lot more water than I expected to get the soil prepared at first. As a novice gardener, it's not easy to get the ratio just right. So, if you too are a beginner, I suggest starting with a little less than you expect since it's easy to go from not enough water.... not enough water to drenched!My flower, herb, and tomato seedlings have all taken off splendidly. (My nasturtiums went WILD in this stuff. I wasn't expecting it!) I would consider this seed starter mix again in the future.

Perfect for starting seeds at home.
This soil mix is nutrient rich and a great combination of things required to germinate seeds successfully. I used these on a seed starting tray I had and experienced a 100% germ rate. Would recommend.

High-quality mix for starters.
Love this mix. It's rich, fluffy, and smells like actual soil instead of factory dust. The worm castings and organic ingredients are a huge plus, and everything I've planted in it is thriving. Perfect for herbs and starter veggies - great texture, drains well, and doesn't get compacted. Bonus points for being made in the USA and fully organic.

Good soil overall
It could be a little more shredded up out of the bag, and even have a recloseable bag, but other than that it is a good mix.

A nice bag of seed starting mix
My wife who is the gardener in the house usually starts seeds in potting. She has good success but was anxious to try this. She planted flower seeds in the potting soil and another in the starting mix. The starting mix had a better percent of germination, and the plants grew a little quicker. I'm getting ready to start a batch of broccoli seeds in this and expect big things.

Trying to Garden in Vegas—Pray for My Seedlings
I know, trying to start a garden in Vegas sounds like a setup for failure, but here I am, optimistic and armed with this 6qt seed starting mix. I'm using it in peat pots for now, planning to move everything into a raised bed once the seedlings stop acting fragile. I like that it’s organic and not loaded with mystery chemicals—feels like a good, clean start.So far, it’s holding up well. As long as I don’t accidentally roast my plants in the desert sun, I think this mix will give them a solid shot at survival.If it turns out to be false hope in a bag, I’ll update. I will provide pics as my herbs and veggies start to take shape.

Worked well for me.
I used this with green bell pepper plants. The plants did well when they were in the containers before transplanting, and are doing great now, in the garden.The mix holds moisture well and keep the plants healthy.Recommended.

Worm castings? Or no worm castings?
Product name on here states there are worm castings in the mix, which is probably one the best fertilizers you can use, however the product packaging makes no mention of it anywhere at all, which begs the question of whether the seller is trying to pull a fast one on shoppers.Packaging also specifies anywhere from 65%-80% coconut husks, which probably explains why this big bag feels so light. They might call it soil on the bag, but this definitely is not.65%-80% husks is fairly standard for starting mixes, so it's not an immediate red flag, but the lack of mention ofworm castings means either that there's not enough to merit listing, that it would be extremely low % and would be embarrassing to list, or that it just doesn't exist in here at all.
