I use Topsoil with no probs at all I use Homebase Topsoil £3.99 a big bag! Beware though as this time of year its cold/wet lol....All I do is keep in the house to dry out(Cut the top off for air to get in) simples!!!
I got a bag before xmas and it was frozen solid lol...wasnt a prob, just defrosted in front of rad! once the lamps get to it, it drys out quick!!

B&Q topsoil is just as good as any other. I'd go with just topsoil. Kelly (stells) uses just topsoil and it's worked just great.
