Is this a mix you buy or are you talking about peat you are mixing.
Is this a product you have had for a while, or new stuff, ?
Has it been stored wet?
Have you checked several bales?
Get on to the seller and the maker big time, I dont know any of them that
want you to fail and those I have dealt with have been very helpfull.
I prefer a seedling mix (Metro 360, Jiffy Mix for example) for germination
of small seed and at least for the covering of large ones as it saves so
much sifting time.
