Perlite is initially quarried, crushed, and then fractionated or divided up into its various parts: those that will be capable of being expanded into useful perlite, and those that are not. The useful form of the product will have a typical grain size between 0.14 and three millimeters.

When done properly, there is no need to leave the landscape damaged after the mining process is finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs perlite does not hold much more than one per cent moisture, it is usually best used in conjunction with other materials. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maximumyield.com\/definition\/134\/vermiculite\"\u003eVermiculite\u003c\/a\u003e is a popular companion to perlite as it does hold considerably more water.

Coir has excellent water retaining properties due to its small particle size, which promotes a high degree of nutrient retention around the root zone.

But in case you’ve never heard of it, worm juice is the liquid that you collect from a worm farm. Some people also call this worm tea but hardcore worm farmers use this term to refer to a potent brew they make by adding molasses to ‘worm juice’ and aerating it with an aquarium pump to increase the numbers of beneficial microbes in the liquid fertiliser that this process creates.

Similarly, by introducing a higher count of good bacteria to your plant’s soil, beneficial microbial activity is immediately kickstarted.
