Is there any difference between this Zoo Med Eco-Earth and the Exo-Terra Plantation soil?

yes. Its softer, fluffier, and in my opinion--better. the snakes love it, they enjoy burrowing in in it. it dosent dry out like the eco earth, it stays moist longer.

I see no difference. I have always ordered on Do Terra before this and the smell and texture was the same.

To the best of my knowledge, yes. Personally the terra cotta seemed to be thicker. Lasts longer

It appears from German. It is OK -- but I am not as impressed as Green Earth product.

There is none, per se, because it's chemical-free; this is potting soil with earth worm castings, kelp, bat guano and many other NATURAL additives. It's pricey, but 10x better than any other potting soil I have used so well worth it.

I don't think it does. But I do know that pure earthworm castings come loaded with beneficial bacteria and microbes. That's whats usually used in a compost

I ordered this, but mine didn't have rainforest. I returned it. You can get this model for $20 at buy buy baby.

My guess is other grubs like locust and such. It may affect earthworms and other larva in the soil.

Its definetely better that eco earth holds humidity more but when I had my 30 gallon I only used about half of the bedding. Hope that helps

They have a line up for soil and hydro. The only difference is the grow big. I've used them both in hydro and soil with great results I recommend the soluble and bush doctor lineup fox farm has using them all together I've got some of the best results yet. One con with using in hydro the nutrients like to settle to the bottom I had to stir at least once a day.

Hi, Earth Rated is just the manfacturer's trademarked name. But here is the "poop" on the biodegradable question, copied from their website: "While these bags meet all Canadian standards for being labelled biodegradeable, some areas of the United States have different definitions of what is a biodegradeable product. In bringing our bags to the United States, we've had to change our terminology, but our bags remain the same eco-friendly bags they always were." -Jon

Since mine came from a large nursery I assume it had non organic fertilizer. No indication that it was organic. I would just inquire from the seller or contact the nursery.

The ones I bought were new earth boxes, so I really can't answer the question relative to Old Earth boxes. Sorry.

First, I've never used ECO Earth. I use the Zoo Med Forest floor in two 10 gal. tanks for two small snakes that require a little humidity. The 24 qt. size will last me many months. It works for me. I think the 24 qt. would cover a 4'X2' tank once maybe twice depending on how deep you want it.

You will need to also purchase Sphagnum Moss from Orchard Supply or other source. The EarthBox instructions will specify how much to buy. This "moss" becomes the "soil" that you plant into.

The label on the bottle says "29 strains of soil based micro-organisms in a humic/fulvic acid complex" . Nothing about how many billions.... And I decided to opt for Mercola's probiotic this time, less expensive and he's quite respectable. I'll see how that goes. Best of luck. And you can go to the Prescript-Assist website for the best product info.
