Substrate questions

I am about to give my crested gecko's tank a thorough cleaning. I have a block of Eco-Earth at home. I want to know what I do with it and what else I need with it for it to be a good subtrate.

It needs a certain amount of water based on the size of the brick. It will expand a lot. It's also quite messy; I've always added the water in a bucket inside the bathtub.

My substrate is primarily organic potting soil. I'll add a small amount of Eco earth or peat to retain moisture.
But my tanks are planted. Plants don't do well in just Eco earth, IME.
