The average bag of peat costs about R35. I guess it would take roughly 20 bags of peat to fill a cubic metre. R700 vs R260, but as both you and Scarab have mentioned, you just don't know what you are getting for that R260. ...


Something's seriously wrong then. Probably the manufacturer is using something other than peat as the base for the potting soil, and that immediately begs the questions of "What is it? and "How is it going to kill my tarantulas?"

Be afraid. Be very afraid...

Read the labels. Best of luck.


You have me 100% convinced. Don't worry, I won't be going near it.

Amore, have a look in the general section. This thread was split somehow, but the bulk of this discussion is somewhere in the general section.
