If it's just plain peat, no added fertilizer, vermiculite and other stuff, then it should work.

If there's MiracleGro in it, then do not use it.

There's no need to use only "certified organic" products. As long at there's no additional fertilizer, water retention beads or the like, and stabilizers, it's safe enough. Pure plain peat about as organic as you can get, even without the certification. Even other products don't need it. It's not going to hurt anything, but it's not necesary.

If it has plant food added, it's not safe for your gecko |
