I thought I’d update this post. I followed Charles’s advice and bought some Melcourt SylvaGrow. The nearest garden centre stock it. It is a fine compost with a spongey water absorbant texture. I’ve only tried it with basil seeds, but it certainly holds moisture very well, does not dry out anything like as quickly as New Horizon peat free compost, and has a good free flowing texture, with no large woody bits, so initial impressions are that this is a high quality product and a viable peat alternative. They state that it has no green waste as well as no peat. It is not cheap, but for fussy seedlings such as leeks, it’ll be worth it if works as well as I think it will.
