I love the correction with regards to inspecting the rootball. Especially with it coming from a newbie, lol. But honestly...you Mdm, are full of shit. :jointsmile:

As long as you are using it for the right reason, and are aware of the cumulative effects. But using it just to use it is folly. Learn proper techniques, and you won't be chasing miracle band-aids to correct your botanical boo-boos.

So add perlite to aerate the soil, then add a chemical (that if overused can/will kill the beneficial bacteria in the soil) in case the perlite didn't really areate the soil? Is it just me, or is this starting to sound like someone that has read a lot, but doesn't seem to have practical experience? Sprinkle it on top of the soil...? Hmmm...and you recommend everyone does this?
