[QUOTE="swimbait, post: 59759, member: 3515"] Should be fine, doesn't seem to have additives. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure RobC on youtube used to use soil with fertilizer in it all the time and never had any problems. I am by no means suggesting the use of fertilized soil but I do think we as tarantula keepers are a little to cautious sometimes. "Seeds, spores, and fungus" are likely not going to hurt your tarantula, these things do live in the wild... I use peat moss, I just bought a giant like 85 litter bag of it at lowes a couple months ago for like 13$. That's about the price of a 3 brick pack of eco earth, except you will get 24 litters tops. Plus peat moss holds moisture and burrows much better. I have rehoused over 25 tarantulas off this bag of dirt and haven't even put a dent in it. I have a friend that has been using it for the last 10 years without issue. [/QUOTE]
