OK, here's the situation. I have some seedlings that are taking off much faster than I expected. Some of the roots have penetrated the bottom of the containers and are growing down the tray, a couple are a foot long! They are starting to tangle with each other and need some room to grow. Unfortunately, the local natural gardening store is closed until after new year's and my choices are
1) buy some soil from home depot (the selection pretty much sucks, MG or other crap)
2) wait a few days for the natural store to open (the roots are already becoming intertwined, not sure how much longer I want to wait to pull them apart)
or 3) Harvest some soil from an old garden plot on my property; The previous owner said her mom took a lot of time in the garden and used no pesticides. The garden is on the bank of a river, so the soil is pretty black and loamy. I am just unsure bout the nutrient content and don't want to unbalance my plants, since I already have them on Fox Farm Grow-big.
Should I just go out there with a wheelbarrow and scoop some up? What say you?
