Re: [APD] soil and where to purchase

I've found that pond soil/substrate works great as it is free of any
chemical ferts that could harm fish and its also very cheap too!

Subject: [APD] soil and where to purchase

Hello Folks:
   
  I have used many substrates  in my tanks and have found nothing beats
common clean soil. The plants love it.  I use it underneath a layer of
flourite or under regular natural gravel.  What I want to know is can I
buy clean soil at places like Lowes or a Home Depot?  Clean soil would
mean no added fertilizers and certainly not from contaminated or
polluted sources.  Most bagged stuff I find is high in peat or bark or
other organics.  I don't know what to look for.  I am considering trying
a friend's backyard as a source. 
   
  Thanks Diana
