top soil

GemJam · 02-04-2015, 05:20 PM

Just wanted to check if anyone uses Wickes Graded top soil in the blue bag 25L??

I bought a job lot of soil a while ago, and now my local place doesn't stock what I had before. And need to get some more.

Also, I need to plant more seeds for my torts food. Will this be ok to use? And do you mix limestone/Calcium powder in the soil too?

Many thanks,

i normally buy the stuff from wickes as its always been good quality but i bought some from a garden center last year,it was on offer,big mistake!its full of lumps and bricks and other rubbish,never again!
it will be ok to put your seeds in and yes mix some limestone in with it.
