I can tell you that both are probably carrying way too much peat which breaks down faster than a rotted tomato left out in the hot sun.

You aim is to go for the heavier mixes such as Fafard nursery mix or fafard53 I think?
They tend to carry more bark than peat.

Good luck

The only Fafard products I'd consider using are the nursery mix and the 52 mix. The nursery mix is 25% peat, and the 52 mix is 30% peat. Both are still a bit heavy in peat, but they're probably the best bagged mixes you'll find. If you can find them that is. I think they're aimed mainly at commercial growers. Making your own yields the best result if you're willing to locate the ingredients.

Thanks, I can't get the Fafard nursery mixes.

Oops - I guess this thread answers the question I asked in your other .... ;-)

This sounds promising although it won't be on the market I think until next year: Jiffy Mix natural and organic for growing tomatoes and vegetables. Contains sphagnum, composted bark, med. grade perlite, lime, natural fertilizer, and wetting agent. I can't tell the proportions. If you could skip the fertilizer it might be close to Fafard #3 which I look for in our area and can't find. Ferry-Morse, 10 qt., about $4.00.
