    I have had a problem finding seed starter. Lowe’s does not carry & Home Depot is out. 8 qt 4.99. Went to Amazon $12 - 13.00!!! Same size bag.
    REALLY AMAZON??? So I came here to get your recipe. I don’t need a whole lot but I like to keep on hand at all times. Thanks!
    I had rather invest in making my own than throwing same amt of money out the window😁!

    Hey Hollis and Nancy. I love watching you two love birds as you demonstrate how to do so many things. What I like most is your dedication to the Lord in all that you do 🙂It is a waste of life otherwise. I had a quick question about your seed starting mix. In another one of your videos (Starting Seedlings), it appears there's Perlite in your seed starting mix. However, in your instructions, you only call for vermiculite. Am I seeing things? Keep up the great work!

    I was told that you may avoid fungus gnats by using coco coil and additives (perlite, vermiculite), instead of using seed-starting-soil for inside trays. I'm trying coco coil and perlite this year.

    • @yakitoriPB
