In Homebase the other day I was tempted by their buy 3 get 4th free
offer of multipurpose compost, 60 litres.

For the very first time I am using mainly my own made up potting
compost. Works out about the same price wise as shop bought but I do
know what's in it

45 liters of my own home made compost
15 liters of peat based compost,
3 liters of vermiculate
2 liters of Soil
2 liters of sharp sand
2 liters of chicken pellets.

Looks and feels good.
