With the seasons starting to change I'm wanting to add a bit more variety to my tortoises diet with out having to stop 3 different stores to get the best variety and I know purchasing already growing plants is a no no because of pesticides and such. So I'm looking into planting my own mini garden for him. My grandmother has a green thumb and a yard for flowers that she hasn't used in years so it should be fertilizer and pesticide free by now if I'm correct? I'd like to start planting some there but also try to get some started in pots that I can plant in his enclosure eventually and once I have a grasp be able to grow indoors in the winter with one of those grow light things. But I'm not sure what types of potting soil I'm allowed to use? If I have to make sure it has not fertilizer or pesticides in it what do you all recommend to grow plants in? (and yes, I am referencing the tortoise table to know what flowers are good to him). If I got a mini composter type of deal for food scraps would that help nourish the soil? and maybe throw some worms in the pots? Is that humane for the worms? Just looking for any ideas, tips and advice.
Thanks in advance!!
