The sowing guide, which came with my seeds,

Chiltern, by any chance?

suggest the use of soilless
composts, rather than J.Innes seed c.
I don't want to go to a nursery and end up being sold a bag of peat.
What should I be looking for on the bag's ingredients ?
Any help much appreciated.

They usually have some phrase like 'peat free'. Tend to be coir based or
wood chip based. I use new Horizon. I don't get fantastic results, but
whether that's me or the compost I wouldn't like to say!
