AJs 2011 Season Start...

AJ, i'm not sure if it was this post or another but you had mentioned a starter mix that you use. Do you keep your seedling in that mix until they go outside? Or so you have a transitional mix?

Hi Geo...I use Hoffmans Seed Starting Mix for the starter trays, then when transplanted to 3" containers, I use a premium potting mix from Archies Gardenland (my local nursery's brand), then when I plantout, I use this same potting mix from Archies and leftover soil/compost from last year at at 50/50 mix...
