Crushed?

Would Not Recommend

Not Lowe’s fault but the perlite looked as though it was crushed. It was very small and mostly dust. Very weird stuff. Not like other perlite I’ve bought where the pieces are bigger and not all dust.

LARGE INDOOR PLANTING PROJECT DOWN THE DRAIN...

Would Not Recommend

I am not a novice gardener, especially when it comes to houseplants. I worked on a large indoor planting project in December. After much time researching plants for the environment, lighting requirements, care, soil requirements, etc., I had to select from the Miracle Gro family as this is all they ever have offered at Lowe's or Home Depot (purchased at both places). I purchased and used the following: - Moisture Control Potting Mix - Sphagnum Peat Moss - African Violet Mix - Orchid Potting Mi...

Very pleased

Would Recommend

I decided to try making my own potting mix after reading several articles on it. Think I will save quite a bit of money by making it. Was very easy. Haven't planted anything yet. Hope it works well. Be aware of the wind when mixing.
