Arrgh! This seedling mix is not all good. Let me rant because it's not the only one. This is a ball of pure sand in a mix that is already too sandy. Another seedling mix I bought had sticks and wood which were also big enough to make me think, "Isnt it their job to sift this stuff?" I guess not. Like everything available at your local big box store, more than half of it is no better than garbage we just keep putting our faith in the wrong place... Except the "sand ball seedling mix" came from a local growing store. The best of the three has been the Black Gold brand. Garden & Bloome was the sandy one. The overly-peaty one which I had rot issues with was Jobe's. The price was about the same for all three. Maybe the others are normally good. I'm not comfortable endorsing any product just ranting... A good company can make a bad batch sometimes I'm sure--but with something as simple as sifting dirt--it's so basic... how do you mess that up? I guess by simply not doing their job.
