Fort Light offers all the nourishment of a compost-based potting mix with the added benefit of perlite for enhanced drainage. Crafted from mature compost to provide balanced nutrition from germination to transplant, it provides the ideal conditions to germinate and grow even the trickiest seeds.

Fort Light is especially well suited to small-celled flats, soil blocking, and any grower seeking a lighter-weight medium. It is particularly helpful in smaller trays or environments where overwatering is a concern. (Prefer a more moisture-retentive mix for soil blocking? Consider Fort Vee.)

Details:

• Uses: Seed germination, transplanting vegetable and flower starts, houseplants requiring additional drainage, hanging baskets

Preparation: 
Moisten with warm water a few hours before planting or soil blocking. Pre-wetting allows the soil to stabilize and helps prevent washout from pots or trays.
