What... No soil pictures?

Okay, you want your soil to be light and porous, capable of holding water, yet drainable too. I have had much success with a 50/50 rich potting soil and perlite mixture. I recommend you STAY AWAY from the pre-fertilized mixtures, the seedlings don't require it, and they are usually too hot for the tender seedlings, and burn them up.
You will want to be able to control the application of nutrients yourself to attain the desired results, and the soil won't need fertillizer for several weeks. For each 10 gallons of soil Mix in 1/4 cup of dolomite lime to supplement the Magnesium-hungry plants. Just make sure the soil is mixed well, and that it's moist enough to sustain the young plants. Always water in well on transplanting. young plants. Always water in well on transplanting.
