Sometime ago I posted regarding newer composts being rather weedy and
suggested that coincil green waste could well be mixed in with

recycled waste picked up by local authorities,

My wife accidentally used some of this (not that particular brand) to
pot up some tomato plants a couple of years ago. The plants did grow,
but extremely slowly and remained very sickly looking. I dont know
what the compost contains, but beware how you use it.

My beef with peat-free growing bags (growbags are my cheap source of
potting material) is that the stuff always seems to be very coarse: I
don't think they compost it for long enough. That might slow down the
root development of your transplants if they're still quite small.
