Re: Anyone use this stuff or similar for humid bedding?

Peat is taken from area's that rely on the stuff to be there... basically buying peat isn't environmentally friendly... just like using cypress mulch is destroying very precious eco systems. Also peat when dried up becomes very dusty.

Coco is actually better in about every way, and it's a waste product. There's no reason not to use it really.

I mix my ground with compost without anything in it, coco, coco husk, some sand, fir bark, crumbled leaves (for lack of not knowing the English names; Quercus, Acer, Platanus leaves). Can plant about anything in it really (from succulents to tropical plants), and keep anything on it.

I don't know about peat but cypress is illegal too cut down now. I thought you had to dig it out of the buoy?
