Do I need to buy the Springtail Food?

Just wondering. I don't mind doing it, but don't want to waste my money if there is no need. I have in my "shopping cart" one culture from Josh's Frogs that says it should be enough for 2 or three terrariums. Is that enough? I have one large terrarium, but it has a LOT of soil since she will be using it to lay eggs as well.

The amount of waste a cham produces isn't usually enough. I use Arcadia Custodian Fuel for my clean up crews. Under a fiver, lasts for months and really easy to use.
 
Mushrooms or yeast work well along with any waste from the cham or feeders. Springtails are mostly the mold patrol, isopods are the main poop cleaners.
