Testimonial: Black Gold Seed Starting Mix

“This is the very best seed starting soil that I have used. I have used many different kinds, but this is now my preferred brand. I used it to start Tomato and Pepper seeds. The tomatoes sprouted in 4 days. The Peppers in 6 days. Moisture retention is very good.”
