Organic Potting Soil

[Ian Spackman]

I have a couple of large bags of Organic Potting Soil and was wondering if there would be any adverse effects if I used it in my T. Blondi's enclosure. Supposed to hold moisture very well and if I could save a few bucks on substrate that would be great! I would hate for it to go to waste if I had to buy a separate substrate. Thanks guys!

As long as nothing's added. I use bagged top soil for all my tarantulas.

I agree with Poec54 in regards to the topsoil. Its inexpensive at most DIY centers, around $1.50, what's left over you can spread around the yard if you don't want to store it someplace.

Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it. It is all organic, so no added fertilizers, but I was concerned if there would be any pesticides in it that would harm the T. But it sounds like it will be all good!
