Above you shared your wheelbarrel sized recipe for seed starting mix. That calls for four cups of your fertilizer.
What if I wanted to just make a five gallon bucket of soil? How much of your fertilizer do I use?
Also I asked in a live the other day and I just want to confirm what I wrote down... To initially start up a bed you recommend using three parts horse MANURE one part course sand. Did you mean actual manure or composted down horse manure?
I reached out to a couple of horsey friends and they have big piles but it's not all well aged stuff. Should I skip getting the fresh stuff on the top and try to just get the bottom of their piles?
I'm about to make a lot of beds and I want to start off right.
Should I buy worms to put in? What kind of worms and where?
Excited for future newsletters.

Btw I think I may have signed up twice... Cuz when I just subscribed a couple minutes ago I already had an account. I'm new to this substack thing so I'm not sure how to check it.
This time of year in Florida I direct sow, but when I start seeds early in January I start indoors in my greenhouses. I used to start seeds in my laundry room too!
Have a three-part question in regards of soil.

Hi! Do you start your seeds indoors or outside? I bought little trays and currently they’re in my laundry room window under plastic domes. Thanks!!
