While the seeds are soaking we get the soil ready for planting. This year we will be using two different (actually 3) types of Mycorrhizae in our patch. 2 granular and 1 water soluble. We mixed equal portions of Holland�s �BioGrow Endo Plus) Mycorrhizae and Extreme Pumpkins�s �Pumpkn Pro Mycorrhizal Inoculant� into the dirt. This will give us an excellent opportunity to get some Mycorrhizae right next to the roots as they are starting the growing process. The dirt then goes into 5� peat pots. If the roots hit the edge of the posts they can grow through the peat pots and remain uninhibited. They will be transplanted later on into much larger pots. Last year we used actually seed starting soil. We found this to dry out too quickly for our liking. We got a different type of organic potting soil (Edna�s best potting soil). This was quite similar to what we had used in the past. It retains just a bit more water, which works better for us.
