2023 - What I sowed today

Sowed more clary and cosmos to replace my failures (bloody compost!)
Trying these in my local garden centre stuff  “Mother Earth”.
Running out of compost to try!

What issues are you having? Im definitely finding things trickier. Im getting lots of damping off. I try not to water too much but its either bone dry or soaking.

Seeds seem to germinate ok , but then just go yellow and die.
Have potted on good established plants with a pot full of roots from a 3 inch pot to a four and a half or five inch pot.
Again.. foliage yellows after a fortnight, and then the plant dies. Tipping out the pot of dead stuff shows that the roots haven’t even tried to go into the new compost.
I’m now keeping notes of what works and what doesn’t, but it’s all very confusing. Some brands work for seeds, and doesn’t for potting on , and vice versa.
As SC said, Mother Earth looks good so far.
The YouTube videos about different composts that TMTT recommended were really good.
