    A: The Miracle-Gro Seed Starting Potting Mix may contain decomposed forest materials, sphagnum peat moss, and horticultural grade perlite. Since these are produced regionally, the ingredients will vary. This product may also contain an all purpose fertilizer, which would be noted on the label.

    A: Miracle-Gro Seed Starting Potting Mix is packaged by volume rather than by weight. The varying moisture levels make it impossible to determine the weight. If you have additional questions please contact us at 888-295-6902.

Q: How long does the seed starter fertilizer last? How long does it feed for?  Weeks? Months?

8 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Miracle-Gro Seed Starting Potting Mix does not have a shelf life or expiration date. However manures, compost, and mulch will decompose over time. For best results, keep the product in a dry location, up off of cement floors. Potting mixes support plant development by providing a light-weight, nutrient-rich environment for root growth. Miracle-Gro potting mixes are formulated to absorb and release water as your container plant needs it. We would recommend that you use the potting soil for a couple months to get the seeds started and then transplant them.

Seeds germinated fast!

a month ago
I used this soil to grow impatients for the season, I was rather surprised how fast the seeds germinated and started growing inside, without the need of a grow light. In fact it happened so fast my flowers are all grown and still too cold out of to bring them out. It was very easy to use, just filled the trays and add your seeds, retains water well and does the job. I used some of the leftover soil to fill in my potted plants that live inside and it must have quite a bit of nutrients because they are thriving, the violet that was kind of sick is now all green and flowering. Same for a little potted plant that was struggling, it seems to be in better health. This soil I a must have for people that enjoy gardening of any kind
