Here's one website for the JI recipes:

American compost = aged decayed organic matter, usually vegetable and animal manure -- NO SOIL or artificial nutrients
British compost = American "potting soil" -- can contain soil and artificial nutrients

That would be fount...heehee..late when I typed it.
Gardening SUCKS in FL. Was attempting my hand at doing some organic gardening out back, but between the bugs and the heat, I gave up.
I do take pride in managing to keep my impatiens going right through the summer most years though
