Dove farms is similar to river island: https://www.dovesfarm.co.uk/recipes/sourdough-starter
This is how I started but used a rounded desert spoons of flour rather than a table spoon, 2 flour to 3 water (didn't round the water). I find a pint beer glass ideal for mixing the starter in and cover it with a plastic container that fits loosely over the top. It doesn't take up too much room in fridge that way and no wet cloth. I think organic flour is probably best to use.
I don't discard anything when mixing the sponge (or ferment) but adjust the quantities of flour and water I add, depending on the amount of starter. Before adding the final mix of flour and water, I take out a teaspoon full as the next starter.
