It was a dark and stormy night, and as the people of uk.rec.gardening
huddled around the fire, bnd777 told them this story:

Well I have a greenhouse full plus lots I have already planted out and they
are doing great
when mine are past seedling stage i pot them up in my own compost which is
of course originally pretty rich in horse manure etc

Ah, but that's the point. Mine never get past seedling
stage. (I'm using peat-free compost, does this make a
difference?)
