So I'm working on a viv. for my leopard gecko. Where can I get plain old dirt like you'd have in your yard (I don't trust my yard because of all the weed killer my dad uses for dandelions and such)? I will be mixing this with playsand to keep it dry for desert plants.

thanks

You need organic potting soil and can get it at most hardware or garden stores. Make sure its perilite (those little white balls) free.

Thanks a lot! How much sand would you suggest mixing with the soil in order to make it dry enough for the leopard gecko?

I have no idea. I would think you should trial and error it.

Alright, thanks for info.

Would the All Natural Organic Miracle Grow Potting Soil be fine?

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe that's what I used, mixed with eco earth, in my wall geckoes tank. I don't see why not, I looked it over and it contained no perlite, and is from all organic material.

Okay sounds good then, I just wanted to make sure. I looked it over as well and there was nothing that wasn't organic in it.

Yup, the Miracle Grow organic is what I have used as well.
