I don't get the impression from what I've read, that people were using soil as a substrate in aquaria back then. My impression is that it is a fairly recent thing that soil is catching on as a substrate.
You're posting in the e-natural forum where we use soil without doing much at all to it. LOL Maybe let it air out overnite. other than that, and adding crushed minerals, we don't do much of anything to it.
I have 8 soil based tanks now and all are happy and low maintence.. Just gotta top them off and pull/prune plants every couple of weeks. Don't hafta dink with ferts or CO2. everyone's happy.
