Save Money by Making Your Own Seed Starting Mix—Here's How

The best DIY seed starting mix needs only three ingredients, and you can find them all in your local garden center.

Save money and get my no-fail recipes for organic seed starting mix and potting mix that you can easily make at home (all without complicated soil amendments and fertilizers).

Materials

– Sphagnum peat moss – Perlite – Vermiculite

Step 01

Combine all the ingredients in a clean tub or bucket, and saturate the mix with water.

Step 02

Stir the mixture with your hands or a trowel until it's thoroughly moistened but not soggy (like a wrung-out sponge). Add as much water as the mixture will absorb.

Fill your seedling pots with the homemade seed starting mix, add seeds, and sprinkle a thin layer of vermiculite over your seeds if they need darkness to germinate.
