Topsoil for growing

[conzo]

Hi all.
Does anyone know if topsoil is suitable for growing weeds and vegetables? The topsoil I have is from B&Q, the bag states that its made of loam, and is peat free but contains organic matter and nutrients for fast root growth. Can this be used as a growing medium or should I get a bag of organic compost? The topsoil contains British loam, and other natural green matter.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds good to me. As long as there's no chemicals or harmful stuff in it

Ok thanks

The added nutrients would concern me. For my tortoises, if its not labeled organic, I don't use it.

I think I will get some plain dirt and organic compost to grow
