Anyone can explain the difference between potting soil , garden soil, soilless mix and whatever else there might be? My first batch of seedlings is now resting in peace and I am now trying to get lucky with the second batch. If there was a way I could only get beyond the "seedling leaves/half true leaves" stage I would be a happy man. This time I started them in "potting" soil and almost all of them have germinated. I have this intense feeling that the story will repeat itself. Any hints are mostly welcome. The good news is that I received BigTom's Id cards #2021 #2022 and they're far better than *great*. To give to those that don't own one an idea, my brother who is no ch at all (a sweet bell ,is his idea of capsicum rush :) tried to get me into giving him one :))) As to why I got two of them for myself, I followed the famous rule of "the more seedlings die on you the more cards you should have" . Take care Nikos
