I wonder do people use the seedling specific composts for starting off seeds or
just use the general purpose stuff?


After a bit of experimenting, I now use a 2:1 mix of seed compost and
coir. If I cover seeds, I always use vermiculite, never compost.

I've used both pure coir and pure seed compost in the past and had
reasonable results but I find I get better germination rates and far
better root growth with the mix I now use.
