Just bumping this up... is there anything on here that would be useful for a garden with poor soil and/or starting off seeds indoors ?0

Seems to me he is over egging it, understandably as it is his profit margin
But if growing in containers, and using growbags, then IMO no need for

Arguably no need for growbags, you could use large bags of multi purpose compost, depends on cost really, no big advantage either way on growing
One multi purpose fertiliser, such as "Wonder gro" from Wilkinson's or similar would do
Seeds indoors, any old multi compost, Asda, Wilkinsons, etc OK for starting off
Poor soil, the best improver has to be horse poo, well rotted if you can find it, or spent mushroom compost, if using this you could dig in chicken poo pellets as a boost to nutrients
Spent mushroom compost has the added bonus of having lime [chalk] already in itEight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens0 -
Ok thats really helpful, thank you so much !0

definetly get something in the ground for the potatoes Mardatha they benefit from a good load of manure in the soil.........and Carrots like poor soil so they will do fine i am sureEvery Penny's a prisoner :T0

Well in that case I could open a carrot farm...0
