Hi, I'm new!!

We're attempting again this year to grow various plants (mostly fruit &
veg) from seed, with varying success so far

We're already doing our best to provide light & warmth and follow the
instructions on the relevant packets

But can we do more re perhaps improvements to the compost?

And should we be using compost only (as is so at the moment), or a
compost / soil mix?

I think in the British usage "compost" = USAn "potting soil"

USAn "compost" = British "leaf mould" "well-rotted manure" (and other
decomposed organic matter)

In which case, since you seem to be talking about starting and growing
plants in pots, stick to "compost" (British usage) and don't add any soil
from the garden.
