Default Top soil 4 bags for a tenner

Anyone tried Homebase topsoil? Is it better than B&Q? They are doing 4 bags at 25L for a tenner. Can anyone remember what's in the B&Q bags, is it 25L or 35L? http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs...hTerms=topsoil

I couldn't even find any at all on the www.diy.com site, do B&Q deliver it?

I see Wickes and Focus DIY also sell topsoil but neither deliver, store pick up only

I got some of that the other week....
It's good but a bit damp so you may wanna keep turning it every now and then to dry it out a bit.

It's working fine for me..Tucker loves it and he's much better.

He wasn't as lively before when he had topsiol from the garden.

I got some of this soil from Homebase but the new stock is 3.99 and it's now buy 3 get one free

I found a piece of GLASS in the B&Q stuff this morning so not impressed with that at all, not to mention all the other junk in it too. Hope this stuff is better

EDIT>>> I have started using the Homebase topsoil and it appears to be of a far higher quality than the B&Q stuff
