I was wondering what kind of seed compost you all use. I usually mix up some general purpose compost with John Innes No 1 and some vermiculite, seems to work most of the time.

I use general purpose compo mixed 50/50 with course sand for seeds and cuttings  I have bought Vermiculite to try for the first time this year. I'd thought about using my usual mix and using the vermiculite to sprinkle on the top ?? |

John Innes No 1 to which I add a bit extra grit.

At the risk of sounding boring for most ornamentals......John Innes or Levington's Seed Compost recipes! If required then my little helper top dresses with a bit of vermiculite. For most edible crops I use multi-purpose. However, there always exceptions....I love exceptions don't you?  |

Last year I used a mixture of sieved peat-free compost and vermiculite. Some things did OK but quite a lot didn't
This year I will be using JI seed and cuttings compost

I just use multipurpose compost with vermiculite to cover the seeds if needed |
