Sounds good to me Errol!
I'd modify it a bit with perlite rather then vermiculite as perlite adds more air to the soil then vermiculte!
Gypsum and lime are ok in small amounts, a little goes a long way!
Wetting agents are usually a soap/detergent and are not really necessary.
The soil should be moist but not wet. Do the squeeze test!
I'm psyching myself up to get going on doing mine!
I sow in pots and place the pots in ziplock freezer bags, then put out on the deck in a bright spot but out of direct sun!

thanks Ron. there is very little lime and gypsum in the mix. I used this back in the spring and summer in a square foot garden and it did really well. I just didn't know about WS, since this will be my 1st yr for that. I have alot of gallon milk and water jugs and no telling how many 2 liter drink bottles, everyone around me been saving them for me!
Hey Errol,
Also , frozen juice cans will work well. I also like to crack my eggs on one end. Then save the shells and start seeds in them. You can plant the entire eggshell when you plant the seedling.
