Re: Moisture Crystals and Zerotal

Narda, I picked up ten bags of Schultz Plus 2 cu., on closeout at Walmart last year for 3.00 a bag. I thought that would be plenty for raising my seedlings last winter. I could of used 30 bags! This is really great stuff, except that green algae grows very fast with it. I am wondering if the moisture that the crystals hold in the soil, adds to the algae? I corrected the problem by sprinkling fine sand over the trays after seeding. This worked great! I see that Walmart cares it this year as well. I will be backing up the truck, when the close out season arrives. Larry

George, they had the Schultz potting mix locally here at Sam's last year and
