So I am wondering if there is a huge difference in "coarse" and "super coarse" perlite. I will need quite a bit of it and found this online, seems like very good price but am wondering if it is a good product? Have never ordered from this company:

Jillian,
If shipping is really high for the perlite you might want to check your local Southern State store. I happened to find my local store was selling 4 cubic ft for $22. They also had vermiculite. |

I'm currently growing only in vermiculite and have not had any issues with drowning roots..?

I made a choice to stop using perlite and use rice hulls instead, but it can be a bit expensive to order.
