Reply To: Planting indoors vs. outside in Beds

[“E”]

Thank you Charles and Don, and maybe I should plant indoors for a month or so until it warms up and then have a bed outside that is a plant nursery that I use only for starts. If I did use a garden bed as a plant nursery, would I apply seed starting mix or potting soil to it instead of my homemade compost (kitchen scraps, bedding from my 2 sheep and chickens)? Are you suggesting Charles, that my compost is all that is needed to get plants started? I know I want to avoid perlite which is in the mixes here because it looks like 1970 murdered bean bags out in my garden as those white pellets never seem to go away.
