Post #4610430

For years I have used Scott's 360 for starting my seeds, from back when it used to be Peter's Potting Soil. I liked it because it had no amendments in it, and it's light consistency seems to give good results. Now I am considering changing, for several reasons. First, because I have isolated this as the cause of the fungus gnat problem---not just a single bag, but every bag for the past year has come with little friends. Second, I have concerns about supporting a company that makes most of its money off of chemicals that I do not condone, even though none of these are in the product I am buying (or so the label says). Finally if there is an actual organic product that is as good or better, than that would be lovely and I would like to give it a try and the company my support.

I am curious if there is anyone who has a product they love (or one they suggest I should avoid?) to help me in this decision.

Thanks!
