I have some testy do seed mix coming. Can it be grown in the coco coir mix or do I have to put it in soil?

It will need soil as coco coir does not have enough nutrient content to support growth after the initial sprouting.

"Testy do". Ha. Spell check says some funny stuff...

Soil. And their seeds grow like mad in about ANY soil.
I love the stuff.
I don't know if you've already been "schooled", but if you just cut the tops off of the plants that grow, most of them will regrow again and again. You can really grow a lot of good food from one packet!!
