Thanks for the reply Amanda...good to know something like this works. Now I just have to find out where to buy some leaf litter.

I was at the Hydroponics store looking for organic soil without steer/ chicken manure or bat guano. I found a soiless substrate called CocoNot. It is not coconut fiber, and it doesn't stick to you like coconut fiber. Light, fine and airy. It is redwood bark finely ground with a nut bark... So now I need to research the heck out of it to see if it is safe. I know redwood isn't safe...but not sure about the bark...I have worked with redwood during woodworking and gorilla fur (shredded redwood bark) during landscaping usually with odor. No odor was present in this freshly opened CocoNot...but the nose does not always know. I'll keep it posted for any that are interested.
