Very few answers here I'm afraid shaz! All I would say is that there are two main types of potting COMPOST.........soil based John Innes types, and peat/coir recycled matter based.
Within these two types you would have a potting mix and a seed mix of each!

Soil based is a mixture of loam,sand and peat with a John Innes base mix of fertiliser added.

Peat/coir or recycled compost has some form of fertiliser added also.

Clear as mud I bet?

Sorry but it's the best I can do!

Thanks snadger but when advised to use potting soil and not potting mix, it started to make me think lol

Thanks again
