    That beats the deal I got at Homebase (Three 120L bags for £18.97 (Buy 3, Get £2 off - normally 6.99 each)). I'll need some more soon so keep the deals coming. :)

    But is it any good?
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    It's a bit twiggy, but I have used it anyway.

    Yes it is twiggy I just pulled them out.
    I found I had to chop it up a bit with the trowel but I have sown Sunflowers (two kinds), chillis,peppers, toms & marigolds in it & all have come up & are thriving. Planted in it are all the pots,shallotts, & onions & they are happily growing!:)

    I use the Wickes Multi-purpose compost. Its fine for potting on seedlings and hanging baskets etc. Its 4 X 75 Litre bags for £13 (Was £12 last year).
    It has been fine for me for the last 4/5 years after the B & Q stuff I tried was full of mould and this attacked the seedlings.

    I suppose at £1.99 for 40l, even if you throw half of it away it's cheap. :p
