It's ridiculously low quality and doesnt seem like it has been screened at all.
I don't need a cubic yard of the stuff, and I don't want a dirt pile dumped in front of my house so the local garden centre delivery options don't seem viable. There must be a way to buy ~20 bags of 25L top soil that is decent quality.

haha thank you for confirming that I didn't just have bad luck with those Home Depot "soil" bags. I'm barely exaggerating when I estimate they're about 50% randomly sized bits of wood by volume. each bag will usually have a couple pieces of nice 4 inch long chunk of branch just to make sure you're getting your money's worth.
I've had much better results with the Sea Soil brand at Golden Acre. it's supposedly made from fish compost but doesn't have any type of odor. I remember it being considerably more expensive than Vigoro, but I suppose that's the price of not dressing your lawn with soil bag wood.
