A Sex-Me thread recently spun off into a discussion about the "little yellow balls" in the soil. I've been meaning to ask a similar question, but didn't want to further derail the thread.

I use Schultz Cactus & Succulent Mix exclusively for my tanks and I love it. It contains the perfect mix of ingredients. What concerns me is that there are little green balls in the soil. When I pop them, there is moisture inside.
The ingredients list NO fertilizers or pesticides whatsoever. Just to be sure, I sifted through the soil and picked out all the little green things before using it the last time I rehoused. Then I emailed the company to be sure. This was the correspondence...
Query:
This product contains the perfect organic blend for what I need, but I have some questions about its other contents.
I'm curious as to what the small green balls are in the soil. Also, are there any fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or chemical additives in this product?
Response:
Thank you for your e-mail.
The ingredients that are listed in the product are Candadian sphagnum peat moss, perlite, sand, limestone, and various other organic materials. This product doesn’t contain any fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or chemical additives.

The response reassured me, but didn't tell me what these things are. Any clues??
