My runner beans are a bit wimpish!

As a point of interest, is the compost peat based?

It is the stuff from the recycling depot so quite rich but also rough and ready!

The only reason I asked was having remembered a test done a couple of years ago on various composts. Peat based compost came out on top and coi compost was described as having all the nutrient value of a house brick. Recycled should be great, even if it is a bit rough.
It's possible that they're still developing a new rooting system, so I'd have a bit more patience
