Are you gardening in containers, or with garden beds? I remember you said you were in an urban area in another thread.
Thank you very much. I have come across these but wasn't sure how wool compost would do on it's own. I felt good about them otherwise. I will try them out. Thank you.
I use both containers and beds, and was hoping to use this in both, but i am mostly concerned about my containers for now as i have to pot some things up desperately.

Dalefoot is a good shout from Nancy too. I'd steer clear of anything labelled 'topsoil' unless you can see it first, most of what gets sold as topsoil is basically subsoil with a bit of organic matter thrown in.
Thank you very much.
Can you use mushroom compost as it is? I assumed it was an element to be mixed with other things. I have seen mushroom composts while searching. Maybe i will try both.
Thank you for the advice about top soil too, i will keep that in mind.
