Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Kits Soilless Seed Start Kit

Clean, Sterile, Professional — Start Seeds Without Soil

The Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Kits Soilless Seed Start Kit is built for growers who want a sterile, disease-free germination environment from the start. By combining our professional-grade Soilless Mix with Vermiculite and a 72-Cell Tray, this kit delivers the clean, lightweight, and precisely controlled growing conditions that commercial greenhouses rely on for consistent results.

Soilless growing media eliminates the pathogens, weed seeds, and inconsistencies that come with traditional soil-based mixes. It's composed of materials like peat, perlite, and coco coir that provide structure and water retention without the biological variability of garden soil. When combined with Vermiculite, the result is a germination environment that stays evenly moist, resists compaction, and gives roots maximum freedom to develop. This is how professional nurseries and greenhouses start millions of plants — and now you can do it at home.

Kit Includes

• Professional-Grade Soilless Mix: Sterile, lightweight growing media composed of peat, perlite, and other inert materials. Optimized for seed germination with excellent drainage and moisture retention.

• Vermiculite: Expanded mineral amendment that enhances moisture holding capacity, improves aeration, and maintains consistent soil temperature around germinating seeds.

• 72-Cell Seed Starting Tray: Professional-grade insert tray with 72 individual cells for uniform seedling growth. Durable and reusable across multiple seasons.

Features

• 100% Soilless System: No garden soil, no weed seeds, no pathogens — just clean, controlled growing media.

• Reduced Disease Risk: Sterile media dramatically lowers the chance of damping off, root rot, and other common seedling killers.

• Superior Drainage + Moisture Balance: Soilless Mix drains freely while Vermiculite holds just enough water to keep seeds evenly hydrated.

• Lightweight and Easy to Work With: Soilless media is significantly lighter than soil-based mixes, making trays easy to move and manage.

Key Benefits

• Cleaner Germination: Sterile media means fewer losses to disease and a healthier start for every seedling.

• More Predictable Results: Without the variability of soil, you get consistent performance tray after tray.

• Professional-Grade Quality: The same approach used by commercial greenhouses, nurseries, and propagation facilities.

• Ideal for Sensitive Seeds: Seeds prone to rot or damping off perform significantly better in soilless environments.

Perfect For

• Experienced growers who prefer soilless germination methods

• Seeds prone to damping off (basil, impatiens, petunias, and other fine seeds)

• Hydroponic and controlled-environment growing setups

• Anyone who wants the cleanest, most controlled seed starting environment possible

How to Use

• Step 1: Blend Soilless Mix with Vermiculite at approximately a 3:1 ratio, or adjust based on your preferred moisture retention level.

• Step 2: Fill the 72-Cell Tray with the blended media. Lightly press to settle — do not compact.

• Step 3: Pre-moisten the media thoroughly before planting. Soilless mixes can be hydrophobic when dry, so allow water to soak in fully.

• Step 4: Plant seeds at recommended depth and cover with a thin layer of Vermiculite for even surface moisture.

• Step 5: Place in a warm (65–75°F), well-lit location. Monitor moisture closely — soilless media can dry faster than soil-based mixes at the surface.
