| Hi,
I need to start seeds and was hoping that I could start them directly in the below mix: 30% Peat Moss
Would this burn my seedlings? Thanks a bunch for the help.. |

| When I start seeds, it is with the intention of transplanting them into a growing mix with the first set of true leaves. I am not concerned with the fertility of the seed starting mix. Tell us what your intentions are, and what seeds are you starting. Al |

| I wanted to grow Sweet Million cherries for indoor experimentation through the winter. I don't want want to transplant. I already know how to do that. I want to have the seed grow and just keep going until it's ready for a 'large' container with hotter soil. |

| The cow manure will affect the drainage and the oxygen in the mix, leave it out. When the seedlings have a set of true leaves, they will need fertilizer, preferably a weak synthetic ready for the immediate use of the plant. Al |
