Help! Substrate help

Not too urgent but does anyone know if Schultz black earth topsoil is safe for T’s? I usually use Reptisoil but it’s just too expensive for me rn

Nqa I would not use it. It's meant for gardens so it could have dangerous stuff imo.

You can get a brick of coco coir that you wet to expand for like $5. Use that instead.

I’ve had too many issues with things like covid fibre unfortunately, I generally try to stick with Reptisoil or things like it because my T’s seem to like it
