Highly Effective for Seedstarting
I have used this product for vegetable and flower seed starting for years and it has proven to be consistently effective. I get good germination rates and very healthy seedlings. It can be a bit coarse, but that has never presented a significant issue, as I just pick out some of the larger pieces when filling my flats. In general, I am a big Espoma fan and use their fertilizers with great success.

Its good stuff if you add BTi,
Good seed starter if you use BTi, look up BTi you must use it. 1/2 a plug in 5 gallons of rain water or distilled water.

Best seed started potting soil
I recently purchased this seed starter potting soil and within a week my seeds pop up. I like how the soil is loose and airy. I plan to repurchase as needed.

It works great and is more expensive
I don’t find it to be any better at holding moisture than cheaper brands, but it works really well.

Seeds did well in this mix.
The soil looked and smelled good. My wife planted seeds and they sprouted quickly.

Not what I would labeling as a seed starter.
I have been a farmer and I have been a gardener. In 50 years I had a clear understanding that seed starter was Fine-grained to allow delicate roots to spread easily, whereas potting mixes are coarser. Normally Seed starter is primarily sphagnum peat moss or coconut coir plus perlite or vermiculite for drainage. I had bark and course pieces of wood over 1 inch long and wood chips in the bag. It was light and airy but I spent 1/2 hour sifting the soil into a tote where i ended up with roughly 70% usable soil; soil I would consider seed soil. This was nothing but a homogony of light material which allows fungi and mold, not to ignore fungal gnats, plenty of space to grow and kill the roots of seeds. I apologize to those who like it, I am glad you do, but this is my professional review of a product I shall never buy again. I am highly disappointed.

Seeds are sprouting and growing well!!!
Well packed for shipping. Arrived quicker than expected. Soil is a nice dark colour, light in texture, and smells clean and earthy. My seeds began sprouting 3 days after planting, and are growing well. It's everything I had hoped for so will order again.

It was the worst.
It would dry out multiple times a day making it hard for seeds to sprout
