Hello, I have a marginated tortoise who I've recently bought a new larger table for.

I've just lined it with pond lining because I wanted it to be easier to clean and replace the substrate, but now I'm not sure what substrate is best to buy.
Last time I bought a mediterranean tortoise substrate and I think I want to do this again, I can't work out which topsoil is safe and what isn't.
Are the tortoise-specific substrates okay or is topsoil better? Are there brands which are better than others? I've been looking at the Prorep Tortoise Life Substrate, is this OK? I can't remember what brand I bought last time...

Thanks for any replies. (:
I'll share a pic once I'm done setting it up, I'm hoping to have it finished by next weekend. (:
