I'm not familiar with that brand myself; but anything labeled "Organic:" is safe; most people mix organic topsoil into their substrates for durability.

Just looked it up; no, I wouldn't use that at all.

"Ingredients:
Recycled forest products, coir, perlite, dehydrated poultry manure, composted poultry manure, hydrolyzed feather meal, peat moss, kelp meal, worm castings and bat guano"

UK.
usually can't go far wrong with just coconut fibre (coir) and a bit of top soil as the best substrate.

I mostly use plain Cocoa coir from poundland. Google telling me a Pound (£) = $1.29. So there is no need to spend a lot on the substrate.
