[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 136508, member: 27444"] Perlite and vermiculite are very different. Perlite is volcanic glass...it has very good aeration but doesnt hold water well. Introducing glass too my invertabrates is something I'm not sure is a good idea (Worried about their booklungs). Vermiculite is not as good as aerating the soil but holds water much longer than perlite (like a sponge). [/QUOTE]
