Just plain soil

I was just about to purchase some top soil from Wickes and noticed it contains polycarbonate soil improver. So tried another supplier and it has the same. Polycarbonate is plastic right? I dont want soil with small plastic particles in. Does anyone know where I can get plain old soil in bulk? Im wondering if polycarbonate is a good idea for anyone.

    Could you post some links to the products please? Are you sure the bag itself isn't made of polycarbonate?

    I think you might mean polyacrylamide or celulose polymer? Swell gel basically, it's added as a water retentive additive. Plenty of soils are available without it though.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
