Who says the planet is round
Just to let you know, there was a time when you made up your own compost, there were no nurseries or GCs where you could buy ready made compost, you bought any additives at the local ironmongers, put a tinsheet over a fire and spread your soil on it to sterilise it, mixed that with leaf mould and burn sand, the only difference I do now is buy course sand for it, but as I said, I still use peat based compost for expensive seeds
