Re: Gnats and small insects in indoor garden?
From what I have read. Most of the problems stems from over watering and not from intrinsically bad soil.

Well, the problems arise from the conditions of indoor gardening - continued moisture and limited air circulation. It isn't exactly over-watering in the sense that you can't really let seeds/ seedlings dry out. I never have problems with the fungus gnats or other bugs/diseases with my regular house plants, because I let them dry out thoroughly in between waterings. But can't do that with the seedlings. But yes, it is the conditions, not the soil.
