The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains these
words:

I found a supplier of a compost based on bracken and horse manure. The
price is almost exactly twice as much as that of ordinary peat based
potting
compost. Is this a rip-off?

Much more work required in gathering bracken and mixing/composting.

Sounds very reasonable to me.

But then it will cost me a leg and an arm to treat the whole garden with it.
