Seed Raising Mix

I bought some seed raising mix to help the new season's crops along. After some lacklustre performance with spring onions, I decided to test the mix against dirt taken from our garden. I planted an equal number of seeds in identical containers, and provided them with the same amount of water and sunshine.

Spring OnionsLeft: Dirt from our back yard.   Right: Amgrow Seed Raising Mix.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of difference for the spring onions, but the ones in dirt came up a lot quicker and are slightly more mature.

The swede pictures really speak for themselves, though.

Looks like I won't be needing any more seed raising mix!
