Perlite Question?

[Dr. Bloor]

Perlite is actually a type of glass. PH is 7 neutral.

I rather doubt those amounts of NPK would make any difference.

This is probably true, but like the guy in the movie says, Do you want to be the one to find out?

I would use it lol, I don't know where to get perlite in the UK. Do you think my local garden centre will have it?

[Dr. Bloor]

As much as I love to travel to the UK, I have never visited a garden center there! The nearest I have came to that is that monster farmers market on what 'Portabello street' in London

Wait, so what if I wash the perlite would it be good?

If it is a liquid based fert they added...then one decent flush should eliminate most of it. If it is some kind of granule or time release thing...it would take too much flushing imho.
I've only ever seen unmolested perlite come in 110ltr bags. But I have seen some grow shops sell it by the scoop from a 'bulk' bin.

Perlite is everywhere. Garden stores, farm stores, variety stores and the www. I assume it's the same in the UK.
