Eco Earth Coconut fibre as substrate?

[DrKate]

I had a hard time finding any soil at my garden store that didn't have either chemical fertilizers, "wetting agents," or those foam bead thingies. Even the organic potting soil had been "enhanced with beneficial bacteria" - not something I was all that comfortable with. I did eventually find some made for orchids that as far as I can tell is just ground peat moss with some worm castings mixed in. So... pretty much plain "dirt."

Just make sure you read all the labels carefully...

I've experienced extremely rapid mold growth if the the eco earth gets moist for even a bit. So remember to have good ventilation while waiting for it to dry. Adding peat moss will help prevent mold growth (Acidity), just as future advice though, because I know it will be dry in your garter enclosure.
