In my quest to do everything as cheaply as possible I want to avoid buying seed raising mix, but am finding ordinary soil is not getting things off to a good start. What are the magic ingredients of a good home-made seed raising mix?

If you can afford it though Dalton's organic seed raising mix is fool proof. I have resorted to this lately ( mix up my own potting mix for the next stage) as raising healthy seedlings is an invesetment to the rest of the growing process. If you use compost it really does need to be seived to get big lumps out or the small seeds just cant push through. Even the Dalton's org mix needs a seived layer after the seeds are spread on the tray to lightly cover.
Hope this helps
