i bought slow release miracle gro. i know this is bad for growing. should i use soil from my back garden for my seedlings (during germination at the moment).

i know i need to get a oiless mix and vermiculite. but would soil from my backgarden where flowers have been growing do?

are you using bag seed ? if so try the slow release just remember the water is what releases the nutes, if you over water not only are you damaging the roots your over fertilizing double whammy

Dud i wouldn't touch those nutes with a 10 ft pole. I would get better results using straight water
