Answer 1

some landfills have very good compost for sale
hardware and garden centers sell compost
I've always used potting soil mixed with old manure and sand
you could always make your own, but that's not instant

Answer 2

John Innes Composts

Answer 3

Hi Tony Use John Innes Seed - the traditional mix for sowing almost any type of seed, with sufficient nutrient for early development. May also be used for rooting soft cuttings.

JOHN INNES POTTING COMPOST No.1 - for pricking out or potting-up young seedlings or rooted cuttings. This composts has a carefully balanced nutrient content to suit most young plants.

JOHN INNES POTTING COMPOST No.2 - for general potting of most house plants and vegetable plants into medium size pots or boxes. Contains double the amount of nutrient in JI No 1 to suit established plants.

JOHN INNES POTTING COMPOST No.3 - a richer mixture for final re-potting of gross feeding vegetable plants and for mature foliage plants and shrubs in interior planters or outdoor containers. Hope this helps. Cheers

Answer 4

For seeding, buy a high quality potting mix that is high in sphagnum peat. Premier pro-mix is a good one and it's generally available at garden centers and sometimes Lowe's. For seeding, it will need to be kept moist and warm.

Municipal compost SHOULD NOT be used for this. for soil amendments, it's fine, but not for seeding.

Good Luck!
