Ingredients for seed starting trash
I like to keep things simple when it comes to fertilizing my seedlings, and this dry dusty fare that starts trash is my perfect Mixing the head seed starting. Instead of feeding seedlings with liquid fertilizers later, I mix this mixture directly to the soil when preparing the seed tray or soil blocks. In that way, nutrients are distributed evenly, giving young plants a stable and soft supply of essential minerals as they grow.
Here's what uses in my manure starting the trash and why:
-
Azomite – an increase in essential trace minerals
Azomite is a natural rock powder filled with over 70 trace minerals that plants need healthy development. Seedlings do not require large amounts of nitrogen or phosphorus at first, but they need micronutrients such as calcium, magnesium and zinc to build strong cell walls and prevent deficiencies. Azomite provides those in a form of slow release, providing a sustainable supply of minerals as the seedlings grow.
Green sand is a fantastic natural source of potassium, which is essential for strong roots and disease resistance. It also releases compressed soil and helps improve moisture retention-Both are useful in a Coco-based mix. Unlike synthetic potassium fertilizers, green sand releases nutrients slowly, making it perfect for seedlings that need soft and continuous support.
Nitrogen is essential for leaf growth and stem, and the blood meal provides a slow, natural source without delicate excess seedlings. Since Cair Coco is of course low in nitrogen, the addition of a small amount of blood meal ensures that young plants get the early stimulation they need to develop lush and green leaves.

Bone meal – Phosphorus for strong root development
Phosphorus is the key to healthy root systems, and bone meal is one of the best organic sources. Since shoots depend on their roots to get water and nutrients, adding a small bone meal to the mix helps them create deep, bold root networks that prepare them for transplantation.

Biochear – Improves soil health and holds nutrients
Biocar is one of my favorite additions to every soil mix. It acts as a nourishing sponge, holding minerals and moisture, so they are slowly released over time – perfect for young shoots. Biochar also improves soil structure, ventilation and microbial activity, which makes it especially useful when working with Cair Coco.
By combining these ingredients into a dry seed with dry powder, I ensure that my shoots have a balanced, slow, mixed nutrient source, mixed straight into their soil. Now, let's pass the exact recipe and how to mix it in my head seed mixture.
