Question 2

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 3

What is the difference between potting soil and garden soil?

Accepted Answer

Potting soil is specifically designed for use in containers and potted plants. It's lightweight, well-draining, and often includes materials like peat moss, perlite, or coconut coir to help roots breathe. Garden soil, on the other hand, is meant for in-ground use. It is denser and richer in natural minerals but may not drain as efficiently in containers. Choosing the right one depends on where and how you're planting.

Question 4

Where can I find information to help me choose the right soil for my project?

Accepted Answer

To make an informed decision on soil types and their uses, consult our comprehensive Soil Buying Guide.
