Question 1

Why is perlite a popular soil amendment for gardeners?

Accepted Answer

Perlite, a lightweight volcanic material, is prized by gardeners for its ability to improve soil structure. It enhances drainage and aeration, preventing soil compaction and promoting healthy root growth. Perlite is versatile, used in potting mixes, seed starting, and to lighten heavy garden soils. Its moisture-retaining properties allow excess water to drain, making it ideal for various plants and growing conditions.

Question 6

What is garden soil and what is it used for?

Accepted Answer

Garden soil is a nutrient-rich blend meant for outdoor planting directly in the ground. It's commonly used to improve native soil in flower beds, vegetable gardens, and landscaping areas. Garden soil helps support root development by adding organic matter and improving soil structure, but it's not recommended for potted plants due to its heavier texture and lower drainage capacity.
