That store is a fucking jungle but coda is right on everything he said. Back to topic, I love shultz products from their vermiculite to the potting soil to the perlite. Never had a bad item from them, probably never will.
Seems like you just got a one in a million fucked up item. Brother in law once opened a back of Oke Doke popcorn and found a fucking razorblade in it. A RAZORBLADE com'n what if a kid ate that shit lol.
surely you caught the "tearing open bags of Perlite in a Drunken Rampage" part... yeah, it's funny - but i REALLY did that. also, like i said - i used to stand by Shultz *especially since they're from STL* i never had any problems either... but NOW, they are either having "technical difficulties", they've put out a MONSTROUS bad batch, or they just lowered the quality of their Perlite. i'm not saying ANYTHING about the rest of their products... but i must've ripped thru 6 or 7 bags. all had varying degrees of potting soil (peat, twigs, and even little time-release fertlizer bb's) i DID find a bag with a MINIMAL amount of shit in it, but most were so infested the Perlite was actually brownish gray. i'd post a pic (i still have the initial bag that started this) but my Girl and i have come to an agreement that i wont use the computer to post any pics of my hobby - or, "research" if you will.
all i'm saying is - if you still need or use Perlite - go get it from the Nursery or Hydro-Suupply in BULK. it's of MUCH higher quality and cheaper per cubic-ft.
peace.

much understood, indeed. in fact, i guess i should be thanking ol' Walton for my new 23 Qt. PC... traded in my 5 year old presto. all i'll say is those dumb bastards dont know the difference between a heavily used 5 year old 18 quart PC and a shiny new 23 Qt. PC - as long as they get the right BOX back!!! R E F U N D, bitches!!! LOL.

well, it's not exactly like that, man. i'm NOT advocating STEALING - at all. or possibly getting yerself in trouble.
i basically TRADED them their OLD PC for a NEW PC. is it moral? or am i POOR? who's to say... they got my $90.00 - but only once. why should i buy a SECOND PC that has a lifetime warranty? i paid for one, bought another one, returned the old one in the new box. not exactly what i call stealing. no one has to, or should, follow me (of all ppl) by example. i'm not a theif, i'm just slightly more clever than the average pic-i-nic basket

It's trading? You've gotta be shitting me. If you think being poor justifies stealing, then you're a few screws loose. I hate people who use the system to get what they want, yet somehow rationalize that it isn't stealing.

ok - presto PC's have a lifetime warranty. mine turned to shit and they wouldnt honor the warranty. it cost me roughly $90.00
SINCE they wouldnt honor the warranty, i bought a new one that was roughly $96.00
i cleaned up the old one, boxed it up in the new PC box and returned it. thereby getting my $96.00 back.
you win, Holydiver - i took WalMart for $6.oo because they NOR presto could find a way to replace a PC that was SUPPOSED TO HAVE A FUCKING -LIFETIME- WARRANTY.
i PAID for ONE pressure cooker. i HAVE one pressure cooker, and since i returned the old one with ALL the packaging, they got their precious warranty papers back.
i have a few screws loose because i upgraded my PC (maybe i shoulda got the SAME PC rather than the 23 qt. one) because the 2 corporations that sold me my original decided they wouldnt honor my warranty???
whatever man. they got their money. so they can't resell the one i gave them back... who fucking cares if they dont stand behind the product in the first place?
i wouldnt steal from anyone, but if you fuck me - expect the same in return.
stealing IS wrong. no doubt.

FAT TONY SAYS: If your family is starving is it wrong to steal a loaf of bread? And what if you family doesn't like bread? What if they like cigarettes? Is it wrong to steal a pack of cigarettes? And what if you have a very large family, Is it wrong to steal a truck full of cigarettes?
ANYWAYS, I've found dead spiders in my perlite. Didn't seem to cause a problem still did the job it needed to do. I don't think a bit of potting soil in the mix would cause a problem either.

i didnt say stealing is ok if you're poor. the point i was TRYING to make is this: i can't afford to buy a new PC when my old PC is fucked, and i shouldnt have to when it came with a lifetime warranty.
did i beat the system? sorta. did i steal from the system? no, i just gave them back a shitty PC. yes, maybe it was wrong to replace it with a PC that was slightly more expensive ($6)
if you're hungry - yeah, its still wrong to steal food. maybe you would ASK someone for something to eat...
and yeah, the perlite WOULD still work. IMO it's just not the same quality of perlite i used to get from that company.
