Which is better to grow plants in and then put in pots in the enclosure?

There's this peat mossImageUploadedByTortForum1394169096.462396.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1394169108.845109.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1394169131.176763.jpg

I got a peat moss that says all organic but it has yucca extract. Is that ok? It seems fine but I haven't opened it yet wanted to see what u guys said.

Indoors or outdoors?

I've used that exact brand of top soil for years. It occasionally has pieces of glass or a nail in it but it works just fine. I sift through it then use it as my growing medium. I used to use it as my indoor enclosures substrate until 2 bags in a row came infested with fungus mites...but like I said, I still use it outside, no problem.
Mixing it with peat moss like ascott said is fine, too.

The one I got I'll take a pic of tomorrow or next week. It's late, even in the Bay Area
