>Those little white balls are plastic,looks like hard
polystyrene (uneducated guess); perlite is brownish in color
and looks like a miniature loaf of sliced brown bread
that has fallen out of the wrapper and it crumbles easily
when you rub it with your fingers
Weird! In this country the perlite is round and white and crumbles fairly
easily
Vemiculite is brown and shiny and looks square are you sure you're not
getting the two confused?
Its not a big deal thing but at least if we get this sorted out then at least
the list will know that you say 'perlite' you mean something different to
what I mean as perlite.
