This year I have actually been testing the John Innes compost having never used it before until recently I have notice my plants actually producing more flowers and seedlings germinating better than using normal run of the mill compost.
I have noticed its very fine compost so it makes great for seeds and it has small brown clumps which expand into feed for the plants. I have purchased the compost from Wilkinson for about £2.50 for 60 liters.
I have seen the ones in the 99p stores and I also believe that Dovefromabove is correct in saying it is just added fertilizer in that case

If it's loam-based it should say so on the bag.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
The only time I bought one with this blurb, it was a non-peat based one with no loam in it.
Berghill, was it described as 'with added John Innes'? As I understand it that just refers to the added fertiliser.
