What kind of dirt on a dirted tank?

I want to do a heavily planted tank and the only way it will hold up long term is if I go dirted. I want them to have plenty of nutrients in the soil. Question is what kind of dirt do I use. At my local 99 cent store they have "all organic potting mix" with none of those white things just curious what dirt should I get.... I'm new to the dirt thing

This is the one I was talking about the second pic is the ingredients and I have miracle grow however it is only called potting mix not organic. Is the brand shown in the pictures safe?

im not sure on the brand, looks safe, but a quick trip to your local Homedepot or Lowes and 6 bucks on the Miracle Grow organic will save you a bunch of headaches in the future

You know what you're right I will go get the miracle grow organic.... It's going into a 5 gallon tank and if I did choose the wrong soil water parameters might be uncontrollable in such a tiny tank
