I was lured by price into buying some multipurpose compost from B&M, the Gro-Sure 50ltr All Purpose Compost.
I wanted to start off some vegetable seeds today, so got everything prepared. Agh !! this compost is far too fibrous for seed sowing. I filled my trays up, watered well, then was going to sieve over a thin layer prior to sowing. A similar thin layer of sieved compost was to go over the seeds.
Nothing, (well almost nothing) passed through the sieve
I therefore want to buy some good granular type compost, which I can sieve to provide a base and covering for the seeds.
Which compost do the experts here recommend please ?
Many many years ago, I also grew vegetables and used to use John Innes soil based compost, but I never see that anywhere now. Maybe it is no longer available.
thanks for any advice given
