Thanks for your input, Om - I really appreciate it. I will indeed be getting
flats and pots for nothing, but the seed starting mix and potting soil ain't
cheap these days! I think it will be a great late-winter project to keep me
gardening when I can't be out scratching in my garden dirt.


Most welcome!

You know, you can probably save a LOT of money on the soil mixes.

Instead of purchasing bagged soils, do a little research on the makeup
of potting soils and mix your own from bulk separate ingredients.
Many a garden center has big piles of different types of materials, and
bags of perlite and vermiculite can be purchased for quite a bit less
than potting pre-mixes.

Look also at medina for fertilizer mixes. They really do work well for a
lot of folks around here.
