Review: Simply Perlite- essential for a Pro Mix - Good price and good product WITHOUT added ingredients like Miracle Grow (aka soil killer). If you are looking for healthy soil, this is the way to go. I added it to some coconut coir to help balance out the moisture. I find that works better than peat moss for moisture and it doesn't decompose quickly. Throw in some good organic compost and you are set!
Review: Low dust perlite - Love! I’ve purchased other perlite brands before and was bracing for dust with mask and glasses for protection. Super happy that this one had no dust at all when pouring and mixing. Nice good quality and size. Used this to mix with compost, coco coir, and organic potting soil for strawberries and tomatoes in containers and it seems to provide good drainage. Plants are growing super fast!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the particle size in this product? 1/16th, 1/8th, 1/4 inch. Is there much fine sand type "dust" in the bag when screening?**
A: I purchased 2 of the 18 dry quart bags to add to some bales of growing mix that did not have enough perlite. This was perfect for the job. I only have a 1/2 a bag left and about 50% looks like it is an 1/8th inch and the other 50% consists of larger sizes up to about 1/4 inch or slightly larger.The bottom of the bags did not contain a huge amount of dust but it all depends on packaging and handling in the end.This is great for mixing into a growing mix, but may be a little fine to grow with this product alone. I have read a little about perlite grows but i am not sure what would be the ideal size.

**Q: How many cubic feet?**
A: .6 to .7 cubic feet.  It depends if this bag is 18 quarts US or imperial, respectively.

**Q: How course is this? I'd like to use it in a net pot for an dwc aeroponic system.**
A: Too fine for net pots use hydroton clay pebbles.

**Q: I need 100% plain perlite with no additives.  Does this fit the bill?**
A: This is exactly what your looking for. Have used in many sterile environments as well as soil additives and never had a single problem with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Low dust perlite

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plant gnats totally eliminated with perlite
*by K***R on February 5, 2015*

I got more than I bargained for in this perlite, all good! When I ran out of houseplant/seed soil for transplanting, I used good garden soil, which I learned is far from the same thing! It wasn't long before I had lots of little gnats swarming in the soil and flying about the house. Suggestions from online gardeners didn't work; everything from commercial sprays to household solutions using vinegar, detergent, peroxide didn't help at all. I finally read an article about mixing perlite in the potted soil to stop the gnats from laying eggs in it. All I did was sprinkle some on the top layer, and without disturbing my plants, worked it in a bit. Within 2 days, all of the gnats were gone! Fantastic stuff!
