double post dude i responed to the OTHER one... grrrr
I'm sorry stinkyattic, I really appreciate your help !


Describe the texture, color, water holdig properties, PH, etc. What grows there naturally? How much rain do you get?
Texture : not too tight (lotā??s of air circulation after I turn it around)
Color : A very dark brown.
water holdig properties : I donā??t really know, thatā??s why I want to know if I should use Perlite or vermiculite to be on the safe side.
PH : I really donā??t know ????
What grows there naturally : A little bit of everything except for pine.
How much rain do you get : Hopefully lots but it varies from year to year.

stinkyattic: vermiculite is more stealth outdoors, as long as you REALLY loosen the soil, a lightener is not as important as it would be indoors.
The thing is than last year, we used ProMix for our plant which contains Perlite or vermiculite (not sure) and the results seemed pretty good. This year, we wanted to avoid using ProMix because itā??s expensive and allot of work.

I was shooting for just a quick turn of the earth with some sheep shit in the bottom of each hole and ??? Perlite or Vermiculite ??? to save $.

If Iā??m getting what both you guys are saying, itā??s not necessary to use any of them but stinkyattic recommends vermiculite if I decide to use one ā?¦ Right ?

Any suggestion more than welcome

Thanks,
