Hi Lenny I've just done mine today, they've gone into ordinary Multi purp compost.
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

Same as richyrich7, did mine on Wednesday, into multi purpose with a little added lime as they will finally be planted in a new lottie (for me)  and I've no idea what was planted there before hand.
Paul, Andrew, Kevin, Galen - My parents got bored of normal names in the end!

Hi, 50 50 soil and multi compost is fine if you need a bit more body, and cheaper.
