>>I was at a local store and found this "seed starter" soil and was wondering if it would work for egg incubation. Here is the ingredients: Sphagnum peat, horticultural vermiculite, perlite, wetting agent and lime for ph balance. NO I am not using it, was wanting to know could you use it. It has more sphagnum peat in it than anything else. Just a question.

probably would work but i'd be a little uneasy about the wetting agent. but why complicate things? plenty of us have had 100% success using JUST vermiculite, or JUST corded sphagnum moss (not peat).
