Someone mentioned in another subreddit that one should bake commercially produced topsoil before using, eliminating any bad bugs, fungus, mold, etc.

I thought that had gone out of fashion as we learn more about what works and what doesn't.

So, should topsoil be baked before using?

I'm getting ready to make a foam hide for my bearded dragon. I've been doing a lot of research but couldn't come to a conclusion. Which is better, Drylock or Grout? What are the textures like? I would preferably like a rocky feel and is one better than the other?
