Seedling Mix for Seed Starting

Our Seedling Mix is an organic seed starting mix with a light, airy texture that gives delicate roots room to develop. Ancient Soil supplies beneficial microbes and gentle, slow-release nutrition to support young plants as they grow from newly sown seeds into garden-ready transplants.

A Light Start for Delicate Roots

• Loose, fluffy texture: Helps young roots move through the mix without the density of heavier potting soils.
• Resists compaction and crusting: Supports an open growing medium for emerging seedlings.
• Gentle organic feeding: Ancient Soil provides gradual nutrition for developing plants.
• Living soil biology: Beneficial microbes support the growing environment around young roots.

For Vegetables, Herbs, Flowers, and Microgreens

Set up your trays, label your favorite varieties, and give your next garden a fresh start. This seedling mix suits a range of sowing projects, including:

• Vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers
• Herbs such as basil, parsley, and cilantro
• Annual and perennial flowers
• Microgreens
• Seedlings destined for transplanting into the garden

How to Start Seeds

1. Fill seed trays loosely with Seedling Mix without packing it down.
2. Sow at the depth recommended on your seed packet. Cover with mix only where the packet directs.
3. Label each planting with the seed variety and sowing date.
4. Mist gently until water drains, or bottom-water until the surface is moist. Allow excess water to drain.
5. Provide light according to the seed packet's requirements.

Grow Stronger Transplants

The mix supports root development as seedlings establish, helping you prepare young plants for their next growing space. Follow crop-specific guidance for transplant timing and care rather than treating every variety the same.

Keep moisture and airflow appropriate for your seedlings. Beneficial microbes and an airy mix support soil health, but they do not guarantee protection from damping off or transplant shock.

Choose Seedling Mix for a light growing medium and gentle nutrition at the beginning of your plant-growing journey.
