Feeding seedlings in soilless mix?

Can any of my blogging friends or readers tell me what you would recommend to feed your seedlings in soilless mix. Keep in mind I'm an organic gardener. I'm thinking of a watered down version of liquid fish or kelp? Would that be too 'hot'?

My Grammy always used Jell-o (any flavor), the gelatine helped retain moisture and the sugar feed the plants!

She just sprinkled it in the soil as she planted!

Clint...that's hilarious. Don't you just love it. I must say, I've never heard that one before.

I am just starting to garden, so I am afraid O can not help. But, I wish you luck in finding the help.
Cheers,
Dewi

Erin I use manure tea...there is a seller who is organic in her methods and she makes the tea bags so they are easy to put in water and let it seep....works well...

Hi Donna. Thanks for the tip. I really want to find those 'special' tea bags. Do you have a name?
