I believe that in addition to the wetting agents some of the starting
mixes have some fertilizers mixed in. According to information in the
SARE site you can sometimes special order mix from the big companies
with the wetting agents and fertilizers left out. I met an organic
herb grower this past weekend who was using a Scott's starting mix
which she said had them omitted.
