[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 113862, member: 4086"] I was looking back at this thread and I remember recently seeing someone state emphatically that keepers in Germany are against using any kind of peat. Nothing against our own experts, here in the US (God bless them!) but it seems our European cousins are a step ahead of us most times(difficult pairings, importing new species, etc.) has anyone heard anything about it? My main ingredient has been some sort of peat for years, though it's a mixture now..I've never had any problems. Anyone? For the sake of discussion, I use jungle mix, (fir and coco peat), mixed with topsoil and vermiculite. Same dirt for all. I've seen posts about bits of wood molding, and jungle mix has a LOT of wood, you'll get splinters running your hands through it :D I have never once had mold on it..never one time, with over a hundred inverts using it at one point, when I had baby scorps. (My actual collection now is closer to sixty.) Maybe because I like lots of ventilation? Don't really know. Has anyone heard this about peat though? Do we have any Germans or German speaking folks that can elaborate? I'm not sweating it, but I would like to hear more, for the sake of discussion. [/QUOTE]
