    Thanks OP, but they would not sell them at this price. Very bad customer service, I will shop elsewhere!

    Aldi had loads at this price last week, still had some left today for those who cannot get any at B&Q certainly worth a try.

    And the B&Q stuff is good quality too. I knew a guy who won prizes for growing fuchsias who used tons of this stuff. I think he used to doctor it a bit - sieved it, added perlite, osmocote, goodness knows what. But it was based on the b&q multipurpose compost

    It should be play I used it last year when I got a larger bag 50 litres I think. I didnt get a huge crop of spuds though but I suspect it was down to how you grow them in bags or lack of sunshine. I fed my spuds with liquid feed and also mixed in some fresh home made compost

    I usually by 3x50 litre bags for £11 last year

    Reserved 6 bags yesterday to collect today. Husband has just called to say that B&Q will not honour price as offer finished yesterday. He had a copy of the confirmation email from B&Q but the manager was not having it and said " read the small print"

    Basically the computer will allow you to order until midnight for next day collection but the promotion closes the previous day and they will not let you have the goods at the promotion price.

    Really bad customer services from B&Q.

    Anyone going especially today to collect should check with their store first.
