Every Mix We Make

Lucy's #1 is the workhorse germination mix that has helped Midwest greenhouses start strong since the 1980s. The medium vermiculite provides ideal moisture distribution for tiny seeds, while the 10-50-10 starter charge gives roots the phosphorus push they need to establish quickly.

Ingredients: Sphagnum peat moss, medium vermiculite, dolomitic limestone, gypsum, 10-50-10 fertilizer, trace elements, wetting agent

• Pre-charged starter fertilizer
• Buffered pH
• Even moisture distribution

Built for high-volume plug production. The fine perlite component pulls water through the cell evenly so every plug emerges at the same time, every time.

Ingredients: Sphagnum peat moss, medium vermiculite, fine perlite, dolomitic limestone, gypsum, 10-50-10 fertilizer, wetting agent

• Fine particle structure
• Engineered for automated seeders

A blank slate growing mix for the grower who wants total control. No starter charge means you decide the feed program from day one. Ideal for fertigation systems.

Lucy's #4 is the most-loved growing mix in our lineup. The composted pine bark gives it the kind of structure that fills container edges even after a dry-down, so the next watering soaks every root, not just the center.
