3.0 out of 5 stars Peat free not fungus free or wood free
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2022
I was so happy to find a peat free seed mix and at a good price… However, it is so full of wood chunks the seeds are struggling to sprout straight and the soil is heaving up all over the place. Seed soil should be fine and free of large pieces. The second BIG PROBLEM is this soil is growing flowerpot parasol mushrooms/fungus and they can make you sick if you eat them… it is making growing microgreens VERY difficult. I will not be buying this again nor do I recommend it
