We have had very good results springboarding from Coleman's recipe and using coir fiber instead of peat moss. We did mixtures with differing amounts of coir, garden compost, leaf mould, vermicastings, sand and perlite, and used this home-made potting soil with soil blocks for starts. Had great results consistently. Found the mixture recipe to be very forgiving of variation.
