Rated 5 out of 5 by from MG Seed STARTING Mix doesn't STOP there! Honestly, I did not use this mix to start seeds, at least not yet, I know it will perform for seeds.I used it to start clippings! I have tried multiple times to 'start' Grocery Store THYME with no luck. Now, after using the MG Starter Mix I have success, 8 thyme cuttings doing well, indirect sun and 100f+ days. I will transplant soon and have plenty of 'TIME' for other things! Thanks, SCOTTS..

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works Great Miracle-Gro® Seed Starting Potting Mix, available in an 8-quart bag, is designed to provide an optimal environment for germinating seeds and rooting cuttings. This specialized mix is formulated to promote fast root development and is enriched with Miracle-Gro® Plant Food, offering essential nutrients for young plants. The mix is suitable for a variety of plants, including vegetables, flowers, and herbs, its fine, airy texture allows delicate roots to spread easily and helps prevent compaction, ensuring seedlings receive adequate oxygen. The product also boasts excellent moisture retention, keeping seeds consistently damp without becoming waterlogged, which can help prevent issues like damping-off disease. Despite its moisture-retaining properties, it drains quickly, making it more forgiving if slightly overwatered. One of the key benefits highlighted by users is the mix's ability to feed plants instantly and continue to provide nutrients for up to three months due to the blended Miracle-Gro® Plant Food This sustained feeding supports healthy growth and stronger root systems from the outset. The fertilizer analysis of the mix is a neutral 0.03-0.03-0.03 NPK ratio. While generally well-received for its effectiveness in promoting quick and healthy sprouting, some users have noted that the mix can retain too much moisture, potentially leading to muddy conditions if not managed carefully, especially in trays with limited drainage. For best results, it is recommended for use in containers When starting seeds, users should select a shallow container with a drain hole, fill it with the mix, plant seeds according to package directions, water, and keep moist and out of direct sunlight. For establishing cuttings, the process involves filling a container, watering thoroughly, making holes, inserting cuttings, and keeping them moist and out of direct sunlight. Overall, Miracle-Gro® Seed Starting Potting Mix is a popular choice for gardeners looking to give their seeds and cuttings a strong start, providing the necessary nutrients.
