[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 156084, member: 29302"] I've bought a bag of Top Soil (Westland is the make) from Asda (the Uk's Walmart). Asda have I believe stopped selling it, as it is one of their seasonal products but you can get it at Wickes. It's only about £3.50 for a big bag. I got lucky and had mine for £1.50 as it was end of range reduced. I intend to use it when I get my T and will probably mix it with Coco fibre. I'm going to sieve it out to remove any stones, bits of wood etc first. The research I've done (from people in the hobby who know what they're talking about) has led me to believe that topsoil can sometimes grow white mould when its first put in an enclosure, but it quickly runs its course and dies off when it runs out of 'food'. This sort of thing is handy to know in advance. [/QUOTE]
