Treated top soil

Driving down the M1 near Junction 2 I saw a sign for free treated topsoil. I am hoping to make a raised bed and I was wondering if this topsoil plus some mushroom compost would be OK to use in the bed.

(I have got to drive down again as I didn't get the phone number)

  • Hi there just wondered if you ever got the number and went to get any soil, I am in need and was thinking of doing a trip to go and find the number and the soil! Any help/response appreciated.

    Yes, I got the number but the phone was not in use. I suspect the sign has been up for years.

    In the end I posted on freecycle and managed to get quite a lot.
