Bobbie,
Did you intend vermiculite or perlite? They are often confused with each other and come in big bags but are very different. Course Perlite is recommended for the container mix.

Vermiculite is used in square foot garden mix and for seed starting. It holds a lot of water and breaks down quickly.

Good Luck,

Rick
