Default buying compost

People seem to know the cheapest/best place to get compost on here!
I need about 10 bags or more to pot up stuff generally, especially
cuttings that have now rooted or need moving on.
Where's the best place to get it from? i wasn't too impressed by the
quality of a local Wyevales compost, very coarse and not that good for
the plants by the way they grew.

I once bought a lump of pressed coir or I may have received it as a
freebie with other purchases, anyway although it was only coir it
produced the most amazing root systems and growth on potted up plants
and I wonder if I added long term fertiliser to it whether that might be
an option? Several gardeners I know order from individual suppliers who
seem to travel up from the south coast with lorries and deliver say 20
bags at a time. This compost seems heavier, more like pure John innes
but I am never sure I can trust the quality .
