I'm planning a soil grow, but I'm stuck at the first hurdle - what soil to use. In our back garden, we have westalnd multipurpose compost and we have some homemade stuff in the bottom of the compost bin. Which should I use? Or do I need to go out an buy some better soil? Pics attached.

Hmm, I see. I've heard that basic compost mixes usually arent good enough, and that you need to use the best of the best, otherwise you'll get a crap harvest
