Dont use any perlite outdoors here, because the addition of plenty of organic matter provides good root airation and drainage. Your conditions and requirement may vary, depending on the natural soil type in your area. All my recent posts are based on natural conditions here in central eastern AL.

prepare your sites late in the fall
buy the best seeds at the internet mall
grow them indoors till eight inches tall
then plant them outdoors, hardly visiting at all
and you'll be rewarded with a great haul


That is just the nitepharmer way, everybody is different because everybody outdoors grows in radically different locations. Most sites you have to bust ass hauling in organic goodies because the existing soil isn't good enough. Since I'm lazy and my sites are a two mile walk from the nearest road so I looked for sites with exceptionally rich vegetation, After years of trail and error I found two sites that my three week old indoor grown seedlings really take off at. All I have to do is turn over the very rich soil, mixing in a 20-10-10 chemical fertilizer, with micronutrients added and I'm good to go. I found that fighting weeds, expecially grasses, involves multiple return trips for weeding and the nitepharmer is all about minimal return visits, so I lay down a four foot patch of landscape fabric which I cover with an inch of dirt. The end result is a much bigger plant because it isn't competing with the other weeds in the area for the fertilizer and organic goodies that have been mixed into the soil. I suggest you spends hours reading past posts where questions are asked that are of interest to you. The name of the game is safety, preparation before you plant means minimal visits after the plants are growing
