Abstract: To reduce the overuse of peat and to increase the recycling rate of green wastes for vegetable seedling cultivation, the feasibility of using green waste compost and vermicompost to replace peat as a growth media was evaluated. Six media were prepared by mixing green waste compost and vermicompost with peat at different rates by volume including ck (peat), T1 (compost), T2 (vermicompost), T3 (compost + peat at 1∶1 V/V), T4 (vermicompost + peat at 1∶1 V/V), T5 (compost + vermicompost + peat at 1∶1∶1 V/V). Thereafter, three vegetable species with different salt tolerance: cabbage (most salt tolerance), lettuce (moderate salt tolerance), and zucchini (less salt tolerance) were germinated and grown in the six media. The physical and chemical properties of the different growing media were determined, and the growth of seedlings was also measured. The analysis method of subordinate function was used to evaluate the pros and cons of different growing media. All treatments were replicated ten times, in a completely randomized design. Results indicated that the physical and chemical properties of T4 were all within adequate range for use as a containerized substrate in horticulture. The comprehensive evaluation index for seedlings of T4 versus the control were higher with T4: cabbage (0.52 and 0.33), lettuce (0.52 and 0.49), and zucchini (0.54 and 0.49). Additionally, the cost with T4 was 41.56% less. Therefore, this treatment could be used successfully as a medium replacing peat for production of cabbage, lettuce, and zucchini seedlings.
