Soil-less compost
The sowing guide, which came with my seeds, suggest the use of soilless
composts, rather than J.Innes seed c. I don't want to go to a nursery and end up being sold a bag of peat. What should I be looking for on the bag's ingredients ? Any help much appreciated. Regards .......... Paul |

Tend to be coir based or wood chip based. I use new Horizon. I don't get fantastic results, but whether that's me or the compost I wouldn't like to say! -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/garden/ |

I would prefer something fine-to-powdery for seeds. Am I right in assuming that coir or w/chip is fairly course ? Paul |
