[QUOTE="Seekeroftruth, post: 181801, member: 33210"] Never used cocoa fiber. If you mix some top soil in with peat moss, it will make it a more natural like substrate that packs down better. I imagine adding the topsoil to the cocoa fiber would do the same thing. I've never used measurements but mix top soil into it until it feels right to you and can pack down good. If its a burrowing species, I add some vermiculite to the bottom layer of substrate. I honestly don't think it's worth its space in storage to buy a huge bag of vermiculite though and I only use it because I already bought it when i was starting out. [/QUOTE]
