bio-active question

[fishingfool]

So i got this mini septic tank thingy for my dogs pen and it comes with this tablet thing that's made up of wax,dextrose,sodium sulfate and a bacilluse bacteria and enzyme complex mix it claims harmless the lawns,pets,shrubs and trees. my question is. Is there anything in this that would hurt my bp if i mixed a tablet of this in some dirt abd earthworms or would this not be the right idea :confused:

Also if not is there a company that makes tablets that are reptile safe to start bio active enclousers

The easiest way to start a bioload for a bioactive setup is to buy a container of bait worms and add it dirt and all in the lowest level of the soil. Nightcrawlers for animals that might eat worms, red wrigglers for any other.

That or get a shovel full of dirt from your backyard, but that option isn't available for all.

Yea i was thinking about just useing dirt from the back yard but i worrie about fleas or something ending up in there that shouldn't be so pretty much nightcrawlers work for bio activity pluse a scoop from the garden so to say

I wouldn't worry about any additives. People have gone crazy with the sterile thing. Just add whatever dirt mix you need, some leaves, bark, wood, plants, etc. and you'll soon have a thriving community of microfauna. It's the microscopic stuff that does most of the work. Throw in some springtails, isopods, or whatever you want and you're done.
