Good lord. I should let it go, but...
I own and have read both books you suggested several times over, and I refer to them often.
I'll point out that both suggest aspen as the best choice, with Bill and Cathy Love explicitly recommending shredded Aspen. The same authors also suggest cypress mulch as a good choice. Soderberg does not mention cypress but does suggest coconut husk as a safe substrate. Eco-earth, with which I had problems, is 100% coconut husk.
I can't imagine why you would think I haven't read their books since I followed their exact advice, even starting with the substrate they both agreed as the being the best, which you said you do not use. Presumably because you have your own issues with it, despite what those you accept as experts state.
