Default whites substrate

what do you use for your whites substrate?

i was thinking a mix of moss, top soil, eco earth and some bark chips

but maybe not the bark?

just a quick bit of advice would be nice

I'd be very very careful here. Chunks are not wise.

I used to use eco earth but now i just use repti carpet.

so would a layer of eco earth underneath a thick layer of sphagnum moss be okay?

also, how many can i get in a nearly 2ft square viv? we made it out of ikea shelving and didn't realise how big it would turn out!
