Amend Garden Soil for enclosure

[DrewsLife727]

Put Amend Garden Soul in the outdoor enclosure I'm making for the grass I planted in the enclosure. Is this safe for my torts? The soil prior to this was just sand basically and I needed this to grow the grass and other plants. I want your opinion. Is this fine? Here are pictures of the product and the enclosure.

Do not use any fertilizer/plant food or pesticides.

but how about this soil?

That looks pesticide and fertilizer free. I have used topsoils/amendments like that w/o any issue. They improve drainage.

Before adding any kind of fertilizer or mulch to your enclosure...make absolutely sure it's organic!

That stuff looks organic, all natural components.

I wouldn't use a clay amendment to add to sand. You already have great drainage. My soil here is sand, too, and my biggest problem is that if it is exposed on the surface, every bit of organic material blows away and the remaining pure sand REPELS water. I add just a thin surface layer of cypress mulch, and just that little bit keeps the surface tension broken and able to absorb water.

The bag said it has poultry manure. is that bad?

You should be ok with using that bag. I use the same brand but its a different bag and it works perfect.
