Dear Mr. Phillips,
I use a high porosity soil mix that goes by the brand name of
"BACTO." It is a mix that farmers in our area use to grow tobacco and
vegetable plants hydroponically. To this mix I add 3/4 to one cup of
perilite per gallon milk jug full (dry measure) of Bacto. The mix seems
to work just as well without the perilite though.
