Works fine!
Works just fine! The potting soil I buy has some perlite in it, but not nearly enough for some of the dry climate plants I have. This stuff was great for bulking the soil and seems pretty quality. I don't know a lot about gardening, but this seems like it will help with the water weight soil compacting I've been fighting.
