Hello from Colorado!

If you are amending soil then compost is best. Perlite will make the soil lighter but not add anything. Compost and manure are better. Call your county extension agent for suggestions.


Yes, I'm amending soil, for all my containers. As I mentioned, resources for getting out and about to shop is nil. And I can't afford shipping/delivery costs on heavier gardening supplies. So I'll stick with perlite. I have a little bit of compost from last year I'm planning on using up. But thank you for your suggestions.
