Make sure it is top soil and not soil conditioner, this is just recycled kitchen waist and soil mix, a type of cheap compost.

I've never had a problem with B&Q top soil always very pleased with it but today, I've got a new bag and it's terrible!!!!! I've found plastic and mouldy paper, sticks and it smells a bit musty???? It's not the same as another bag I have. I've phoned b&q and they are happy to take it back even though it is half used and replace it but a bit reluctant.

Do you think it will be ok to use?

If there is a lot of debris, it is more likely to be soil conditioner, this is a new name for, recycled crap, we have a brown recycle bin now, supplied by the council. These we put garden waste and food waste, the council/company now turn this into compost. We supply it, the council sell it.
