Substrate Help!!

[John]

ABG mix should be fine for a newt, but not so much for a tree frog. Larger frogs risk getting some of the sharp pieces of tree fern fiber in their mouth and swallowing it, possibly leading to impaction. I do like the top soil idea.

ok,thanks alot guys,so one last question(sorry iam asking alot) so i use organic and at the top use top soil covered in leaves?maybe mix eco-earth and plantaion soil at in the middle.(agian sorry iam asking alot)

Not quite sure what you mean by organic versus top soil. You can use part eco-earth or plantation soil, just don't use that as the only substrate component unless you don't have any other choice.

there's no diffrence between top and organic soil?lol ok then that answers all my questions,thanks

Organic soil just means there's not chemical additives. Top soil is a distinct kind of soil that has a lot of aeration in it due to worms and recent plant growth. In hardware stores, the "top soil" they sell is an approximation of true top soil.
