I've got a project that has me digging to a replace a broken yard faucet in our yard.
I have a good pile of our yard's 'topsoil'.
I've been wanting to try demineralized soil as a new substrate for my next planted tank. Our soil is fairly low in organics, mostly clayish granules and sand, and some old grass roots. Why wouldn't this be better than buying some 'topsoil' that may not even be local in chemistry and biological animacules?
