[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 155984, member: 29323"] I was not trying to recreate anything, just trying to improve the Coco fibre as it feels very loose & not at all like anything that can be burrowed in. But the mold is something that will not be changed by killing the existing bacteria off. In a natural enviroment, top soil is, is simply the freshest compost which is created by leaves etc etc building up on a surface & then rotting down. So any ground dwelling T should be use to compost under their feet. However an enclosure is a different enviroment to the outside world that they come from. So I can see it throwing up problems that soil in the open would not get. It is all a learning experience & I just mixed some up, to see what it would be like in a few days time. So nothing lost & nothing harmed. Thanks for the input. [/QUOTE]
