John Innes no 2 question

[Chris in Leeds]

I use to get JIno2 in a yellow bag but my supplier shut down and I have been trying other compost but can't remember which company made the one in the yellow bag any one know?
And any recommendations for a good john Innes no2 as the stuff I have used over the last couple of years hasn't been as nice any help appreciated

Chris,

William Sinclair who made Arthur Bowers products went into liquidation in 2015.

It was bought out by Westland who currently maintain the business:

So, in some parts of the country, you can buy one or the other or both of the Westland and Arthur Bowers ranges of JI composts, which are now both sold by Westland. Who knows, one day they might even contain the same product

Thanks Tony I thought it was bowers compost but everytime I searched for it the bag was the new one I will look into trying a bag and see what it's like

Sorry I don't know what it will be like but I do know that I can usually 'find' a slightly damaged bag when ever I am looking at compost or grit in a DIY shed or garden centre.
