I use one of the specialized seed-starting mixes. Fertilizer in it
doesn't seem to matter, since the plants go out into the garden so
fast. It's fine textured, sterile and worth the price, in my opinion.

I use 5-oz. plastic drink cups as my pots. I poke 4 holes in the
bottom and label with a glass-marking pencil. They hold up well.

Regards, Dianna
