best soil for tomato seedlings?

Keen101 · February 28, 2016

I haven't read through all the similar looking threads, doing that now, but i figured i'd ask anyway.

What is the best soil to start tomatoes from seed? I know sometimes poor potting soil has a tendency to introduce damping off or spontaneous seedling death. So what is the best for tomatoes to insure the best survival? I've heard peat moss is best. Is this true? what are all your experiences.

As some have said in other threads, the miracle grow soil is just plain awful. At least for starting seeds. And i think tomato seedlings may be more fragile than most?
