To Earth’s Starter Mix 3-3-3, our starter and transplant formula, is
the perfect way to get your delicate young starts and new seedlings in
the ground and ready to thrive. In addition to essential primary and
secondary plant nutrients we’ve added a beneficial mix of
endomycorrhizal fungi to ensure successful planting, expansive root
development and vigorous early growth. Use Starter Mix throughout the
growing season when transplanting, preparing seed starting soil mixes
and for container grown flowers, herbs and vegetables.
