Perlite is sort of ugly and messy outdoors as well imo.

Either raised bed or in the ground, you should address drainage in the native soil.

Mr^^

which sort of Lava rock are u reffering ?

It's red and has a lot of holes in it. Usually used as landscaping and also used in some bbq setups. I think most big box hardware stores sell it by the bag.
