Different types of compost
Morning
I've just bought some large bamboo plants and plan to transfer them to a large planter. The supplier recommends I use John Innes number 3.
Can anyone tell me if this is the only brand of compost I should use or are there different brands which contain the same amount of nutrients etc?
Thanks
