Excited to see this. We should start a dirt forum, lol. Unfortunately my potting mix is still sitting in my Jeep.
yeah, i've stirred it, i've patted it, i've tossed it, i've turned it, i've done just about everything dr seuss could write about. I guess what I'm going to do is stir it again tonight, let it soak all day today and tomorrow, then drain it and add some sand on top tomorrow night. What gets me is that the guy (dustin) has a couple tanks with just dirt, no other substrate on top. I definitely want to add sand, but seems like it ought to stay put without.Have you stirred it? You're supposed to add dirt, water, stir, water, stir, water, stir, let it sit and then add substrate to weigh it down.

Yeah, I noticed that he had no substrate on top. In my opinion it looks better...if you can get the Organic Choice to stay put on its own, definitely let me know.
It's more like compost type material.
What? You've never heard of float beds?Are you going for a new look, fish under the soil and plants on top of water?!?
