seed compost

Last year I used seed compost for starting off my plants in my plastic greenhouse, are the any benifits  to carry on using this, or can I start them off in ordinary compost  ???

I always use a general potting compost,

the one i would recomend is Humax,

a good allrounder

I always use multi-purpose from the lottie shop or somewhere like B+Q or Homebase...  :-X

This year I've tried peat free coir compost.. good germinations rates all round. It's a bit hairy though  :o  ;D

most seed composts are sterilized to prevent damping off which can be real problem with certain seeds.
