I use coir in heavy pots as it is lighter than mpc so I can still move the pots around. I add plant food pellets to it and have not noticed any difference between pots with mpc and pots with coir. My seeds were fine in it and my dahlia tubers also did well.
i also do my succulents in it mixed with a some garden grit.
nan if you want something simple and easy to do in a flat that won't take up to much room and is quite cheap to do try succulents. You could get a couple of different ones and divide up the babies and grow them on for selling.

Have your tried looking at your local freecycle to see if anyone has plants they want to give away.
I gave away a whole load of plants I had split up last year.
If you advertise that you need them for a charity shop you might find people more willing to give you excess stock.
Do you live anywhere near Cheshire?
'You must have some bread with it me duck!'
Thats a brilliant idea Iamweedy .. I will have a go at that
Thank you
