Like Mike said, those first ingredients would be "okay". It's the long, second section of ingredients that is the killer (literally). It seems if the company could see a niche for providing carnivorous plant growers with a suitable grow mix they could use this very same recipe, charge the same price (it appears it was affordable to a degree) but leave all the other stuff out. The deletion of the "other stuff" would bump their bottom line up a tad...win-win-win...cp growers get a grow mix, the seller gets new customers, and the seller actual profits more off of "less". Of course, cp growers aren't an exceptionally large group, but there will be a demand for a replacement for the banned peat-based mix over there. Someone definitely needs to point out the deadly problem with this mix to the seller or to Amazon...do it in a nice way and maybe they'll come up with a *true* carnivorous plant mix.
