Default Re: Preventing soil from compacting without causing problems.

Does anyone have any experience with vermiculite for plants that prefer moist soil? Would this have the same effect on aeration as perlite?

And just how much perlite should be used? I used 1/3 (1/3 coco peat and 1/3 organic compost) in the few plants I repotted in the last days. Is coco peat not easily compacted? Or should I change the mix to 2/3 perlite and 1/3 compost?
