Small rocks and/or pebbles.Like what is used in driveways.Just makes sure and boil them in water if you bring them in from outside to use in an indoor garden.Although you can't see them,there ARE bugs on anything brought in from outdoors.You would hate to bring something like spider-mi9tes or aphids or any other harmful critters.So use caution.Take care.................CC

Not that I have ever tried this myself but my neighbor shreds styrofoam, and mixes it in with her potting soil for all of her plants (non-cannabis) indoors and out. she seems to have some impressive results. if nothing else were available i would try this myself good luck, pacT.
