Lambert LM-1 Germination Mix | 3cu ft - Loose Fill (48/PL)

Fine-Textured Germination Blend for Seed Trays, 3cu ft

A germination mix that's too coarse leaves gaps around a tiny seed where it never makes good contact with moisture, while a mix that holds too much water can suffocate the same seed before it ever sprouts. Lambert LM-1 Germination Mix blends fine-fibered Canadian sphagnum peat moss with fine vermiculite and perlite, formulated to balance aeration with the water-holding capacity a germinating seed needs.

This 3cu ft loose fill bag runs roughly 80-90% Canadian sphagnum peat moss with 5-15% fine perlite and fine vermiculite, giving seed trays and flats a fine, consistent texture for even seed contact.

Key Features & Benefits

• 80-90% Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss — the fine-fibered base of the blend.
• 5-15% Fine Perlite — adds drainage without a coarse texture.
• Fine Vermiculite — improves water-holding capacity around a germinating seed.
• Loose Fill Format — fills trays and flats easily.

Who Should Use Lambert LM-1 Germination Mix

This mix fits growers starting seeds in trays or flats who need a fine-textured medium that balances aeration with water-holding capacity, since a germinating seed depends on both in closer proportion than an established plant does.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much peat moss does this germination mix contain?

The mix is approximately 80-90% Canadian sphagnum peat moss. That peat forms the fine-fibered base the rest of the blend is built around.

What else is in the blend besides peat?

It includes 5-15% fine perlite and fine vermiculite. Those additions round out the aeration and water-holding balance a germination mix needs.

What is this mix specifically designed for?

It's formulated to promote aeration and water-holding capacity together, which matters most during germination when a seed needs consistent moisture without suffocating. That balance is harder to hit with a straight peat or a coarser blend.

What size bag is this?

This listing is a 3cu ft loose fill bag, shipped 48 per pallet. Loose fill format makes it easy to portion directly into trays and flats.
