It’s an organic volcanic sand that is heated in a furnace to form into rice bubble shapes, with Vegepod Perlite-Plus being of superior coarse grade. Cheaper versions or smaller grades are not so ideal for wicking beds. What does it do? We like to line the wicking wells to not only stop fine silts getting into the wicking bed, but to also provide a layer of absorbing perlite that will assist with the wicking process. We also mix it through the soil to keep it aerated, light and fluffy. Even better, the Vegepod Perlite-Plus has activated rock dust throughout. This provides nutrients, balances soil and improves flavour of your veggies. By activated, we mean that it is in a form that’s fine enough to be properly absorbed into the plant’s roots.
