Hi all! Long time lurker, first time poster here.
I'm looking for anyone with experience regarding Cal Aqua Lab's Black Earth soil. This stuff has been around since 2013, mainly in Asia and Australia, and since a year or so in more European shops (as this thread proves).
Anyone who has experience with this soil, please chime in! I'm thinking of swapping my JBL Manado for soil and this Black Earth looks good. Comparing to ADA's Aquasoil it should hold up very well, without the initial ammonia spikes, while still supplying plenty of ferts on the long run. In addition, it's a bit cheaper and looks really good.
The only reviews I've found so far are these raving comments on an Australian forum. However, it's mainly one guy advocating the stuff. This, together with the outdated website of Cal Aqua Lab and the small number of shops that carry the soil, makes me a bit cautious to try it.
Anyone used this with good results?
