    I agree @Hostafan1

    There is ‘garden compost’ and there is ‘potting compost’ …. they are not the same and are not interchangeable. 
    They cannot be used in the other as part of a mix for their ingredients is very bad misinformation. 
    That reply is complete gobbledygook …

    I know what every individual word in that sentence means but I have no idea what they mean when put together in that order in that sentence.....

    The Loam in it drains well and aides drainage.
    The H grit/sand in it aides and drains well.
    The peat in it is nutrition that can be dug deep in.
    The main 3 ingredients!

    I have to work.

    I think the great Paul Simon has it nailed:

    # And I remember
    Misinformation followed us like a plague
    Nobody knew from time to time
    If the plans where changed
    If the plans were changed

    Great song. Great album.  ;)

    Are we taking part in a new version of Groundhog Day?   :D

    I'm starting to wonder if we have a bot, a glitch in the matrix, or it's all just a dream.

    Shall we just leave it it that she doesn’t know anything about compost with added JI.
    poor thing can’t be blamed, if that’s what she thinks then let her go.
    We’ll just keep putting new gardeners in the picture as to what is the correct way to improve their soil,  unless of course they ask about container gardening.

    Trying to resort to semantics attacks when the essence, meaning, and its truth is clear and self evident is more nonsense.

    The only bit in that which makes sense is the bit about having to work. 🙃
