I use the hombase top soil, really pleased with it, i havent had any problems so far! I quite often do this deal or the 3 bag one.

I noticed that too but at the front door of my Homebase it says 4 for £10 but in the yard area out the back it says buy 3 get one free (works out nearly £12) so anyone going to Homebase might want to make sure there isn't 2 offers on if they are getting landed with the more expensive one.

I have to say that having tried B&Q and Homebase topsoils, Homebase stuff is much superior and of course I got that piece of glass in the B&Q stuff. It might not always be the case though and it will depend on where their suppliers get it from no doubt

I use homebase topsoil too, i find it much better than B&Q's.
I found the B&Q one to become stoney after a while.

I just called my local builders yard and got a bag the same size as my car delivered for £23 all in. Great for me as we are doin the garden and outdoor enclosure at same time as a 8 x 6 tort table but guess it would be a bit silly if you only have a baby tort and small table!
