Is this type of garden soil safe to use as a mix with eco earth? for t's/scorpions.

It's been a long time since I've posted something here in the boards. I've been in the hobby for at least a year and a half now, and I've always used eco earth/coco peat as substrate for both enclosures of my G. pulchripes (T) and H. longimanus (scorpion).

I found this topsoil at the local plant store near me and I'm wondering if it's safe to mix it with coco peat? Mainly because I want to replicate the natural color of forest floor for my H. longimanus' substrate..

Generally speaking most people try to avoid using substrate with compost in it for their inverts.

Use plain top soil, without any kind of aditives.

I'll take both of your words for it. Thank you!

For now, I'm just going to use eco earth till I get the chance to get plain topsoil if I find one.
