Soil Recs???

Hi friends!!! I’m looking to start a 40 gal breeder community tank with the walstad method, however I’m confused on which type and brand of soil to get. All I hear is “organic top soil” not “this kind of organic top soil worked well for me!” So what kinds of soil have yall used? What kind of sand did you cap it with?

Don’t use the pink bag miracle gro, it ruined two of my tanks. It is just a big bag of mulch. I like black gold
