It is potting soil meant for starting seeds. The lady at the
local nursery looked it up for me for my Pondorosa pine tree
seeds. Said it would also be great for seeds.


ah, ok, it's not tomatillos...

i hope the pine trees will start up for you.

Hi Songbird,

She said I could use it on any acid loving plant. Originally,
it was for Pine seeds, but then I used it for zucchini, and
when I get my tomatillo seeds, I already have the pots ready.
It is a pretty big bag. The remainder I was going to spread under
my compost.

Question: the pots are made out of peat. The wrapper said to
plant the pot and all when it came time to transfer. I have
experience with cow manure pots that were also suppose to break
down, but did not. Any words of wisdom?
