So I do the normaly do the 1/3 peat 1/3 ewc 1/3 lava rock then amendments

But wondering as I read leaf mould can be used instead of peat and more benefit too
And I found a study on using compost on it’s own

After a few rolls of the soil your worms n microbes work a compost pile of the mulch and amendments so I wondered if a soil like this with raving reviews of many veg winning records too for biggest grown would be good to use instead of peat it’s has a year of food and is made from bracken comfrey n sheep wool
