Question:

What type of germination medium should I use to start seedlings indoors?

Answer:

The germination medium should be lightweight, porous, and free of pathogens.  Excellent seed-starting media are commercially prepared soilless mixes, such as Jiffy Mix.  Use a high quality, well-drained potting mix when transplanting seedlings into individual pots or cell packs.
