Mixing coco peat, potting soil and vermiculite?

[Abhorsen]

I use the same stuff Cold Blood uses. Top soil made by Timberline. It comes in a white bag, with red outlining.
However, I mix that with peat moss, and a little sand

WHat type of sand are you using? Aquarium sand?

Guys! Potting soil with coco peat gives you molds. . . Needed to rehouse all my ts. I will just stick with coco peat. . .

Your top soil is different than ours, you're on the other side of the world, and in a tropical climate.

Is it safe for my ts? I thought it was bolus but then after a few days it went white. Now its all over the enclo.

yes, its safe

Mixing more expensive things into topsoil makes it more cost effective? Explain that one PLEASE.

The most cost effective is just plain topsoil, not mixed with anything. works just fine and dandy all by its self....just like in nature....I use it for all types of ts.

I'm planning to switch over to top soil fairly soon, so so so cheap.

it is very cheap, but the topsoil i got got absolutely infested with little fruit fly like bugs. every time i opened a topsoil cage, a dozen little fruit flys flew up in my face. i also found it difficult to tell when it was moist and when it was dry. ive switched to peat moss permanently, i can tell when its moist and its still very cheap.
