you can also just wash the perlite instead of buying more
it doesnt take that much effort and you obviously save a few dollars

I've been using perlite from the same bag for at least ten years. All you have to do is rinse it off well, and bake in the oven for an hour or so, and it's just like new again. You never have to toss it out.

If you are opening the bag for the first time you should
pour water into the bag first. This will keep the dust down
when you dump it out into a strainer.
