Adedapo · Answer

Peat-free ranges have expanded hugely and as well as multipurpose, many now include tailored composts for specific uses, such as seed sowing, container growing and grow bags, as well as for cultivating particular plants, from veg and citrus to ericaceous and bulbs.
It honestly depends on what you want and need and also personal preference. The best in my opinion is the Miracle Grow Peat Free Range.

Melcourt Organic Peat Free.. cultivate with existing soil in your bed.

Adam · Answer

most of the major manufacturers produce peat-free multi-purpose products, including Melcourt SylvaGrow and Westland New Horizon. Ericaceous compost – the choice for ericaceous (acid-loving) plants is more limited, but look for Melcourt's SylvaGrow Ericaceous

Monty Don recommends a mix of three parts coir, one part sieved garden compost, one part sieved loam and one part sharp sand, perlite or horticultural grit.

Wayne · Answer

AVOID (At all costs) large bulk-bag of "cold-composted" compost.

It might appear to be cost effective but everything and anything goes into it via green-waste recycling plants who supply the material for it.

It is a certain source of invasive weed seeds / corms and is almost certain to infect any garden on which it is applied with such nasties as red clover, celandine etc and which, once there is impossible to stop from taking over your beds and lawns.

Always use "Hot" composted composts or well rotted manure.
