bags would it be cheaper buying it from B&Q rather than the builders bag
full from the local garden shop.
My only problem is the garden centre stuff is a little on the sandy side.
Thanks folks

It's a little difficult to answer the question if you don't know how much is in the big bags ;-)
A litre is 1000cc, ie 10cm x 10cm x10cm. If you can find out the dimensions of the big bag, you can work out the comparison easily.
