Soil?

[Bronson]

Hey Everyone,

I was just wondering if it was a good idea to use soil in my leos enclosure? I thought it would be cool to actually plant some edible plants in there for my tortoise. I thought it would look quite a bit more natural as well.

Thanks ahead of time,
Bronson

Sounds good to me Bronson. I use the Premier Sphagnum Peat moss and you can get it at Lowes or most any home improvement store.

Christy's suggestion is what I use. If you were going to plant something in there I would mix in some dirt from your backyard. I can't get things to grow for very long in just sphagnum moss. What did you have in mind for plants?

I use a combination of soil and sand in my winter enclosure. It works well, but you have to keep it moist or it gets pretty dusty.

Greg,

What brand of soil do you use?
