Compost differences

Could you try the first batch of seeds in the Dalefoot and Broad beans in the Moorland Gold to do a proper comparison?

Sadly I used up all my broad bean seeds, so it would be hard to do a genuine comparison.

I had multiple failures in Moorland Gold last year that I put down to user error - this was for sowings in late summer, which tend to be tricky anyway because it gets so hot in my garden - but based on this lot plus Charles Dowding's comments, I don't think the compost helped. It's really really fine in texture, so I don't think it holds enough air for seedlings' roots to thrive.
