![]() 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. ![]() Potting supplies by Hostafarian, on Flickr |
