I'm completely stuck on what to do for substrate. Seriously been leaving this for last minute, because I can't decide for many reasons. Looking for some input!
My options I've come up with, due to what's available locally. I need about 1 cu yd(7'x4'x1') of mulch to fill my cage.
Hemlock-$39 unbagged/$65 bagged(14 2 cu ft bags @ $4.50 ea). Don't really have access to a truck to pick it up unbagged though. Concerned with mold.
Cypress-Only one local place carries this, and I'm looking at $95(9 3 cu ft bags @ $9.99 ea). Is the extra money worth it?
EcoEarth-I personally love the look of this, but from what I can understand, I need somewhere around 90 bricks of it(Each brick makes 8L's of substrate, need about 750L of substrate), which means way over $100.
Topsoil/Playsand mixture-Not quite sure how much of each I would need, like what mixture to use.
The money really isn't the issue, but I feel like I'm over calculating something when I come up with these prices/estimates. Either way, opinions or suggestions?

28 cu ft =700 something liters. How many of the 2 cu ft bags do I need?
