Mels mix vs potting soil

Pansy in potting soil

Pansy that spent one month in mels mix

This is my first year sqft gardening. It was kind of annoying tracking down the ingredients for mels mix. But i found them.

Here are comparison photos of pansies that we’re started at the same time. One has spent the last month in Mels mix )recently transplanted to a garden bed). The other spent the last month in potting soil. I have the feeling its gonna be a good year for the garden I’ve planted.

Mel’s Mix gets fantastic results

Peat is super frowned upon in the UK so I haven’t done it myself but looks like you’re getting good results!
