    Very few answers here I'm afraid shaz! All I would say is that there are two main types of potting COMPOST.........soil based John Innes types, and peat/coir recycled matter based.
    Within these two types you would have a potting mix and a seed mix of each!

    Soil based is a mixture of loam,sand and peat with a John Innes base mix of fertiliser added.

    Peat/coir or recycled compost has some form of fertiliser added also.

    Clear as mud I bet?

    Sorry but it's the best I can do!
