Product Description
Perlite has been used by gardeners all over the world for many years. If you want to improve the aeration and drainage of your chosen growing media then use Perlite.
Perlite is a natural, pH neutral, sterile growing medium derived from volcanic rock that can achieve faster germination, and striking cuttings, due to its superior air-to-water ratio.
You can use Perlite to aid in the breaking up of heavy soils; simply mix with potting soil and it will keep the soil loose and light, allowing air and water to reach roots aiding nutrient uptake and improving plant health and growth. Perlite is safe to handle, odourless, lightweight and easy-to-use.
Uses:
- Soil conditioning – increasing aeration and drainage in heavy, hard to manage soils
- Repairing/laying down lawns – gives additional aeration and drainage when raked into spiked holes
- Planting trees and shrubs – loosens and aerates soil to encourage root development
- Can be used alone or as a seed starting medium
