That sure is an idea. Probably more expensive though.

Yes, you can use it in your soilless mix's as a substitute for sand if you wish.

I have used it with success in a couple of mixs for a few banana plants in containers.
In Larger containers I have weight issues with sands and grits and then my goto amendment is perlite for weight reduction.

Is it overkill to use sand and perlite in a soiless mix?
