Default compost

If people use compost for starting seed off in a greenhouse - do they
use general purpose compost or "seed planting" compost?
Does it matter?


It's important to use seed compost because it won't over feed your
germinating seedlings. Some/many seedlings won't even germinate in ordinary
compost and as my husband says, "don't save pennies and waste pounds".


I have absolutely no problem using a "general purpose compost"

(Toms, lettuce, cucumbers etc etc)
