Default What to plant in?

Hi all,
I recently got a baby THB, and I'm trying to sort out some plants to grow on for him. I have bought a few suitable ones, and already grow some in my garden, but I was wondering what's best to pot them up with? I am going to remove as much of the compost they are already in, but is plain homebase top soil enough to grow them in? Is there any plant foods that are ok to use for them? I have bought organic chicken manure and Jamie Oliver's fruit and veg food with seaweed, but I haven't used either yet. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Just top soil is fine...
I actually use tortoise poo fertiliser... just every now and again I bury a bit in the soil...

Never thought of using the poos, I've just been binning them.
