Limestone alternative to perlite?
    #18934471 - 10/05/13 02:30 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Since limestone is hygroscopic can it be a good a alternative to perlite?

may work when saturated with water, but is probably not the best alternative. some limestone (esp. dolomitic) contains Mg, which is said not to be good for fruit formation. perlite is completely neutral. I also use foamed clay instead.
