Seeds germinated fast!
5 Stars
Seeds germinated fast!
This sprouted my cucumber seedlings and tomato seedlings less than a week. Actually my cucumber seedlings are 2 inches tall as of the one week date. I planted them on April 1 today is April 8, see photo. I’m sure it’s a combination of the container I’m using that’s keeping the moisture in, but it really does have a lot to do with this growing mix I believe. I followed the directions of another reviewer which said to get the best use out of the mix is to wet it first and let it soak in the water. That is really the best way to do it, mix it with water first then fill your planters. Worked for me.
