A fine, light mix of coco coir and worm castings carrying a measured set of organic amendments, so the seedling has minerals and biology around it from the first root. Made in Seacliff, Otago.

What it does

• Coir and worm castings hold water and air around a germinating seed and drain freely.
• The amendments give a light nutrient charge, so seedlings should not need feeding before they are potted on.
• The worm castings bring the mix its biology.

How to use

• Fill trays or punnets, firm lightly, sow and cover to the depth on the seed packet.
• Keep the mix evenly moist and out of direct sun until the seedlings are up.
