Does peat Moss itself work well for Ts?? or must you mix it with something else.http://m.homedepot.com/p/Premier-3-cu-ft-Peat-Moss-70976040/100626048/

I switched from Eco Earth to peat and it works great! All my T's seem are perfectly fine with it and my burrowers absolutely love the stuff.Does peat Moss itself work well for Ts?? or must you mix it with something else.
Oh please, you do not have to bake it before using it. You do realize as soon as it's sterilized it becomes dirty again as soon as it's used, right?Just have to bake it or otherwise sterilize it to avoid parasites, bacteria or any other unwanted problems.
Um.... Are you being serious?Oh please, you do not have to bake it before using it. You do realize as soon as it's sterilized it becomes dirty again as soon as it's used, right?

Baking doesn't clean it, it just kills things that live in it. If you dig up dirt from your yard there's liable to be any number of baddies living in it. Parasitic worms for example. Mites are another. Bake them and they die and therefore pose no risk. It has nothing to do with being "dirty"Oh please, you do not have to bake it before using it.

+1. That's what I use, the cheap top soil from Home Depot, the kind without any fertilizer added. 40 lbs for $1.30.You can get a big bag of fill dirt for $1 and some change at Home Depot. Works great.

I get my top soil from the local Florida Home Depots, so I don't know about the rest of the country. I'd think it's around the same price nationwide, if anything, cheaper up north. You've probably been looking at all the expensive top soils with additives.do they sell it in Ohio??I don't recall any 40 ib bags that cheap
