Default Bought compost grumble - HomeBase vs Humax

I was surprised when I opened my first bag this year of HomeBase Multi-
purpose Compost.
It wasn't like the other stuff that I had been using - for example Humax
that I bought (for more) at a farm shop before HomeBase reopened.
It was coarse and fibrous; a bit like the stuffing of an ancient mattress.
I can't see it being fine enough to sow any but the largest seeds, and
overall it looks very strange.

I would expect that most composts would have some soil and/or sand in to
give a finer grained component.
At least some finer ground organic matter instead of just coarse clumps.

I donm't recall last year's compost being like this.

Is it just me?


Cheers
