    I wonder how a Perlite and Vermiculite mix would perform.

    Hello,

    If I am using Espoma organic seed starter for my seedling trays for my veggies do I need to add vermiculite? I think the Espoma has perlite in it to I didn’t know if they can be combined?
    Thanks for the video.

    Compost is worst thing u can use it has slow release of nutrients and its smell can bring bad bugs..

    Instead use red worms humus

    I learned a lot Thanks great
    Especially good when you summed up, I hope you now know the difference between perlite and vermiculite – pointing to the wrong ones, almost sent me back to square one LOL

    Commercial potting soil often has white nodules in it that I’ve always assumed were styrofoam. Is that a possibility and does it serve a similar purpose? Or does it just help with compaction?
