    Cheapest place to buy? Or get?


    B and Q have it at about €200 but its bags of about 20 kilos (€4 each).

    Hey KdjaC, i'm in the same boat at the moment. I need topsoil, but can't just have it dumped in the driveway off the back of a truck. This link from Summerhill lawns will give you a tonne bag delivered for €75.

    After that, the cheapest place I have found it in small bags, is a place called 'Black's Garden Centre' which is just south of Drogheda. They sell 3 x 30 litre bags for a tenner. It works out a whole lot better than B&Q.

    The Baptist church in Rathmines has a sign up offering free topsoil - they've just finished renovating I think. Don't know what the quality would be like but free is free and sometimes worth a look.

    If you want to travel west 25miles with a trailer and shovel I'll give you lots of quality topsoil for nothing (and you'll get some exercise in the process)
