Well..I have added my 'opinion' into Wickes reviews.. ;D ;D I do hope they take notice of the replies..we shall see..
At least in their site there is a option to 'speak', even if their replies are 'automated' and same repeated all over again.. ::)

Yes they are pretty damning......it's a shame thay have just put the same standard response to each review as well, and only then mention it is not suitable for sowing seeds in!

I think several of us have had glass, plastic, chunks of wood etc. I bought B & Q Which best buy last year & I had to sieve it with 2 different sizes of sieves & still lost loads of seeds :o.

Just to add my little bit - Homebase mp compost is the same as Wickes this year - full of bits of straw.  I complained (although in fairness it does state on the Homebase bag that it is not for small seeds) and they agreed with me by email - although I am not sure if they are still selling it as I haven't been back/

A couple of weeks ago Wickes didnt have their own and were selling Westland mp compost which was great @ 4 for £13.  Now wickes only have this straw=based stuff @ 4 for £12.

So its off to B & Q for me in future !!!
