I was planning on making my own potting soil with the below ingredients. I want to grow my own wild flowers and weeds for a Western Hermann's Tortoise. Two questions.
1. Can my tortoise live in this substrate if I bake everything first?
2. Will the flowers grow after it has been baked?
Ingredients
1 Part Aged Compost (locally sourced or homemade)* or 1/2 Aged Compost, 1/2 Aged Manure
1 Part Coconut Coir
1 Part Pumice (a volcanic rock) or Perlite (a volcanic glass)
1 Part Sand
