Default Seed compost recommendation

Hi,

I have been using J Arthur Bower's John Innes seed compost, and I don't

like
it much - the peat is not sieved, and it doesn't seem to drain properly.

I only use about 5 to 10 litres of seed compost per year, so within reason
cost isn't an issue - can anyone recommend something better, for general
use?


Next years seedlings will thank you! , as do I,

I prefer a seed compost with added sand so will either buy Levingtons seed
compost or add sand to a multipurpose, we are (or try to be) peat free and I
must say that bark based peat free compost is rubbish for seed germination!
