Poundland 1.5lt bag of compost for a £1

http://www.poundland.co.uk/product-range/a-z/multi-purpose-compost/

In my very expensive local garden centre, you can get a bag for £3, and that's for 57lt I think, I'm no mathematician but 1.5lr would if you got all them bags to make up 57lt ... wow!!

Got to be a mistake - it must be 15 litres surely (although it's still not cheap, even with "added John Innes.")
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

A bit of googling suggests this is the brand that is stocked in Netto. It also suggests that either the size is wrong or it is very expensive.

I reckon it's 55l.

See this site:

http://www.whitemossthenursery.co.uk/Composts.html

Richmore - Seery's are the same company & 55l of Seery's Multi-purpose with added JI is listed on the left.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

The image title may say 1.5L but the main text on the main page says 15L. 

It wouldn't be possible to fit all that text on a 1.5L bag - it would be about15cm wide by about 20-30cm high.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
