Back to the Roots 3-in-1 Seed Starting Mix 6 Quarts, 100% Organic & USA Made for Herbs, Veggies, Flowers, w/Nutrient Rich Plant Food, Worm-Castings, & Moisture Controlling Yucca Brown

I was skeptical when I first got this but wow am I impressed! This stuff is great. Better than description and it expanse a lot....a whole lot. Very easy to work with too. I am placing more orders. Very quick delivery too. Buy it. You wont regret it. Perfect for starting seeds, soil amendment and more.

This is great for starting seeds! I had five seed trays and only used half of this to fill them. After following instructions, adding water, it doubled in size.

Seems like coco coir, I'm not sure how to measure the nutrient content or dust content, but it didn't seem "dusty" to me. It retains moisture very well and some of my seeds came up in days. I used the 5-pack of 3x4 cells with moisture-retaining hoods. How do you measure how durability it is? I don't know. The size is compressed, so it grows a lot, like me when the college jogging team comes by. I'm sure it has nutrients.

A very nice soil that is rather fine. It's excellent for starting seeds and nurturing young seedlings. Highly recommend.

UPDATE: while seeds germinated faster with this mix, the seeds planted in MiracleGro seed starting mix did all eventually germinate and in fact are now looking much more healthy than the Back to Roots mix. Top 2 rows in second photo are in miracle gro mix, bottom 2 rows in back to roots mixture. I’m changing from 5-stars to 4 only because I think the miraclegro seed starting mix is out performing Original review: 100% germination of tomato seeds with this mix vs about 65% germination with Miracle Gro brand seed starting mix in same environment. Used covered tray with grow lights, warming pad and “Cow Pots” 3” pots.

This Back to The Roots Organic Seed Starter is really easy to use and a good value. It retains moisture well and expands to fill several pots (12 quarts). It has good consistency and some of the seedlings appear to be starting to sprout. A good value for a nice-sized block of compressed starter, I would purchase this product again; five stars from me.

I picked this up to start some seeds, and it worked really well. My seeds sprouted without any issues. One thing I liked is that you don’t have to use the whole block at once, you can cut off a small portion with a knife and just use what you need. Important tip: don’t add water to the entire block if you’re only using a small piece. Hydrate just the portion you plan to use so you don’t end up wasting the rest.

I have always been successful starting seeds. This time, I started a bunch of Tomato seeds in the fall, hoping they will be giant by spring. I took very good care of them in the indoor seed starging system with plant lights. Seeds sprouted, but they struggled so much, they remained only for 3/4 inch height and eventually died. I concluded there are something wrong in this product. I don't recommend you to purchse it.
