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!
has anyone tried using straight mushroom compost?
I have a bag I am considering trying out. It does have some chicken poop
mixed in apparently which may be a little rich for seedlings.
