4 cu ft of perlite for 10 bucks - Organic Soil - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

They have them at Home depot for 10 dollars (in a big brown bag), and probably lowes too, but it's a ton of perlite. Looks like i could fill 20 of the small bags i've been buying for close to 3 bucks. Just bought a 25 gallon tote, to put it in, still alot left in the bag, but I'm mixing soil tonight.

bostrom,

If it's medium perlite you got a deal....Most places charge around $20 for 4 cu.ft of perlite....LC

Saw that huge bag today at HD for $15.99 or so.

i would find these bags have some really small bits of perlite towards the end. FYI, more like dust...

Yea be careful with them bags or you will be cleaning up a major spill!!! I usually do all of my soil work outdoors if possible because of the dust and debri. Thats a hell of a deal tho..not to shabby!

Yea I poured it all into a tote outside and it looked like a bomb went off..lol

You're gonna get dust from perlite....I just hope it hasn't been handled to much and went to powder....LC

Exactly why I didn't pick up the huge bag... thought to myself, That looks like a mess waiting to happen. I'll stick with my itty bitty bags.

Yea thats why I did it outside...no mess, just dust that blew away it a few mintues. Got it all in a tote..ready to go. I like the small 2 or 3 dollar bags...but that shit adds up. Anyway just thought I'd give you guys the info.
