Don’t know about plugs – they could be too short – I always start some off in toilet roll tubes to fill in any gaps in the direct sown parsnips – you have to make sure the roots don’t get too far beyond the end of the roll before you plant them out still in the tubes – the tubes decompose as they grow.
Hi
I have had no problems with a bulk bag of “veggie gold” from Compost Direct, have used it in the garden and on the allotment as a top to my own compost to make new beds – delivery service was very good
Have recently come across Quickcrop.co.uk which has some interesting composts and manure and delivery seems very cheap (one fixed price)Steve Soloman’s book is an interesting read and explains his own path to mineralising his soil and has interesting bits about compost but half the book is taken up with how to apply minerals and amendments to the soil after having had a soil test. This may be relatively cheap to obtain in the USA but I dread to think what a comprehensive soil test would cost in this country. I would think Teaming with Microbes would be a better read and using Remin mineral additive a better option if you are concerned about lack of minerals in your soil.
