It’s full of naturally-present nutrients and is home to a range of helpful microlife. However, it can be difficult to maintain the right consistency. Dry, dusty soil can be poor at holding moisture. Dense, clay-like soil is difficult for roots to permeate and for oxygen to travel through.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerlite is a natural volcanic rock used to improve the structure of soil.
