What soil do you use?

[RobTheChameleonLover]

i have live plants and the dirt seeps out on bottom til it hits the drain. Does anyone use anything for soil that better then dirt base. And yes i do use safe soil. My problem is it causes my bottom to be dirty all the time. I clean it but it a every day twice aday thing and getting old. LoL. Or is it just something i have to deal with.

I put screen in the bottom of the pots to hold the soil in better. I also put gravel in the bottom inch to help them drain and keep the roots from getting soggy.

Play sand / dirt (40/60) works well for me but i got bioactive substrate.

I did the screen thing and gravel but some still seeps.

Didnt think about play sand mix. That may help.

Thanks you two. Info was helpful.
