There is no such thing as "perfect" when it comes to water chemistry. When you deal with dirt, you need to reconsider the factors that would possibly harm any aquarium inhabitants and influence the water parameters. You can use dirt but you also add another layer of gravel or sand to prevent it from clouding up the water and as it is often rich in nutrients, it can be used in planted tanks which is a much better option than otherwise.
