Hi Lesley, I used this with my horsfield and it really irritated my Willows eye. I changed to B&Q sterilised top soil, its chemical free and I spray it with a plant mister when it looks dry and have had no probs with Willows eye ever since. Hope this helps.

Yup, go with what Clare said, its what I have too and I think you will find most get theirs from B & Q or Homebase or the like, anyway. Wouldnt bother with ebay for this.
