That is not soil. Its compost mixed with peat. As long as there are no pesticides or other toxic chemicals in it, food that grows in it should be fine to feed out. I wouldn't use it for substrate, or let the tortoise have direct access to the soil.

Great! I call everything that looks like dirt soil 😂😂 sorry! No I use coco coir as substrate , this is just for growing food in an area of the garden to pick for feeding. Thankyou!
