Both the products you mention lefti are probably just some derivation of/similar to the municipal green waste compost you can get from your council. They like to dress it up with smart words to make it sound like must-have superfood for plants. You may be one of the lucky ones and your council may deliver. Mine don’t, but I was able to go to their recycling facility to collect some tubtrugs of compost free of charge. The downside of this is that the green waste is probably still composting (mine was 60 degrees) and may need storing for a few months before it’s optimal to use. I just limited myself to a couple of beds of bought compost, then used the green waste later when it was ready. Now trying to compost like mad. Don’t think there’s anything better than your own freshly made compost teeming with beneficial microbes.
Best of luck and have fun with growing your first crops.
