Default Compost?
In article ,
says...

Would you say all annual bedding plants are greedy feeders? That's all I
normally grow, so it would be good to know if some of them prefer poor
soil.

Some like nasturtiums and california poppies, flower best in
poor/hungry soil. If you give nasturtiums a rich one they produce
mountains of stems and leaves; starved they produce fewer leaves and
more flowers.
