Default potting mix frustration

the big problem i have with it atm, as i don't have any potted

plants at all
atm (except one tomato) is that i grow seeds in it, & they come up &

it's
all good for a while, but then the seedlings just stop growing,


To grow seeds you need a seed raising mix and not a potting mix. It
can be bought at garden centres in similar plastic bags but it's quite
different to potting mix.


but afaik the only difference is seed mix is finer! like i said i have no
problems with the seeds coming up - it's the bit after that i don't like. am
i misinformed? i have asked people about this, & they all say that it's
finer, but there's no other difference.

i have, however, taken on board chookie's suggestion to give it vitamins :-)
no doubt that will help.
