How to Make the Cheapest Seed Starting Mix

Seed starting mix will cost you about $5 per 8 dry quarts if you buy it from store or garden 

center but would cost you less than a $1.50 if you do it yourself. All seed Starting mix and potting mix are often made from Perlite  and peat moss and some fertilizer or organic fertilizer. Making your own seed starting mix will not only save you money, you will also be able to make great quality and organic product you can depend on. I use organic worm casting in the place of fertilizer because it is better quality, organic, disease resistant, cheap or free in my case because it is from my worm bin and or compost pile.

Note that Peat Moss and worm compost are equal parts, so you can change the quantity
