    I don’t  use perlite at all in compost, for seeds I sprinkle some vermiculite in but not to any special ratio.
    Are you starting plants from seed or cuttings.

    Are you buying plug plants to grow on or sowing seed?
    I only use perlite for small plants or cuttings, as it aids drainage. It also depends what you're growing, and how wet/dry they need to be.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
