    Purchased a few plants/bushes etc from various garden centres.
    Noticed most of the growers use a type of bark in their pots.
    Can anyone name a brand who supplies this type of compost.

    Not as I've seen, but it is very free draining and holds moisture.
    Also seen some use this media for propagating new plants on YT.

      It doesn't look composted it looks just natural wood chippings.
      I've got some composted bark known as bark fines and it black when wet.
