Can anyone recommend a good quality Multi Purpose Compost other than
J. Arthur Bowers. We've found this to be rather inferior & not as good
as it used to be.


I think that is a problem we are all having, always used Levingtons but the
last lot of that I bought had mouldy bits in it, non-sterilised composted
waste I suspect.
Used a "John Innes" this year and it's worked better although I have mixed
it with other stuff depending on what I'm potting up.

I find that B & Q Multi pourpous Compost, (with peat) is good


If I remember right, Which? published a review in January 2010 which
said that B&Q multipurpose (with peat) was the best and also the
cheapest of those that it tested.

I don't use multipurpose any more but in the past my own experience
was that Westland was generally the best.
