Bill,
At that time, I watered my seedling at regular intervals with Miracle Grow.
The other 60 pots of seedlings grew well in Bacto. I can't speak for salty
steer manure or the like, and I don't have the list of elements contained in
the mix. All 6 or 7 bags of soil reacted the same way. I had heard of
companies collecting contaminated materials, things that had been sprayed
with a variety of chemicals. Guess I concluded that the same thing had
happened to me. It gave an answer to someone always searching for answers!
I didn't have the soil tested.
