Very expensive "magical" soil from Takashi Amano's private stock for the creation of purportedly amazing underwater gardens. He does not reveal the ingredients, it is secret dirt. :)

Nobody has ever thought of getting it analyzed in a lab?

Wouldn't an LFS love to sell something that makes them more money than usual?

Nothing is nothing when money can be made in which case it becomes something.

My soils prof would go red in the face over that one  ;D
Day one of Soil Science was 20 Min's on Soil being a media for the cultivation of plants and the term dirt was to describe what you scraped out from under your fingernails. Soil Science was  2x 2 hour lectures and a 2 hour lab each week for both semesters of first year!

We really got the scoop on dirt  ;)
