Success with Black Gold Seedling Mix!

1This testimonial was sent to us from Black Gold user, Aaron Brown:

“I planted some seeds in a competitor starter mix on 03/29/2014. I ran out and went next to my local nursery and picked up some Black Gold seedling mix. I them planted more seeds with your product on 04/01/2014. Those grown in your product ( 2 in the back) are going very well. Those grown in the competitor seed mix (The 2 right up front) are not growing except for a couple very very small seedlings popping up. I just wanted to say so far I am very satisfied and will look more into your products. I will remember next year to not even bother with the other seedling mixes!”
