I've been struggling to find a mix to act as a perlite substitue.
today I found a big pile of small and fine charcoal dumped outside my house. its not Ash but looks like the left overs from making charcoal the stuff they cant sell. no idea where it came from ... whether its been put there on purpose of someone has dumped it I dont tknow but I nicked a few bucket falls anyway.....The texture and size looks perfect for mixing in the soil.. I've tried to research if it would be a good mix and found some saying it has many benifits , for drainage, holding nutients and bacterial + making the soil cleaner and giving better taste in weed others saying it jacks up the PH and not to use it . has anyone had any 1st hand experience or knowledge on this? Is it worth experimenting at least ?:icon_smile:
