[QUOTE="Lentulus, post: 223981, member: 34044"] I use coco for my dozen or so T’s. Reptisoil is just peat with humus, coco, and sand. You could get that much cheaper at Home Depot in the garden section. Just make sure it’s organic and there’s nothing sharp in there like perlite. Perlite can be perfectly safe if it’s “fine“ rather than coarse. That Biodudes stuff is also just organic soil with a little more added to feed plants for a bit—cheaper alternatives also at Home Depot. When looking for soils, there’s always an ingredient panel listed like food at the grocery stores. Once you’re familiar with what is what, lots of safe cheap alternatives. If money is no object, then everything mentioned above could serve the purpose. [/QUOTE]
