    neither can i, i'm going to make my own up, was wondering if mixing in some dartfroguk dendrosoil would be a good idea, bit worried about setting up a springtail culture and their dendrosoil comes with springtails and woodlice in

    yeah i was thinking about the dendrosoil,but i think i will probably make my own aswell,i was hoping id be able to use the eco earth so it didnt go to waste,but that's life

    again, it'd be difficult for most of the guys to be able to recommend us any products, i can imagine our peat moss perhaps have chemicals etc added
