[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 135761, member: 27883"] I thought of doing this many times. I have done it for some reptiles. I think Whitelightning sums up my POV best: Its not worth the risk and its not worth the time. I don't trust any bought in a bag soil either. I once got a big bag of soil and there was partially composted jacaranda leaves in it. Jacaranda is toxic. If I had used that solid under a tortoise, I might have killed it. There is no way to know what combusted yard waste that soil-in-a-bag was made from. Could be chemically treated yard clippings, or it cold be Azalea and oleander clippings, or it could be something safe. No way to know. [/QUOTE]
