Sometimes you need finer soil for starting seeds, growing carrots, or growing microgreens. Instead of going to the garden center and spending a bunch of cash on fancy soil mixes that are “perfect” for starting seeds, why not make your own with a soil screen?

All you need is:

– 2×4″ plywood
– 1/4″ chicken wire
– 3/4″ chicken wire staples
– 20D 4″ nails
– Tin snips

You can then easily screen poorly-finished compost, garden soil, cheap potting soil, etc. to be finer and create your own custom mixes.

Try something like this for seed starting:

– 1/3 peat moss
– 1/3 perlite
– 1/3 well-screened, blended compost
