Perlite - Soils - The Home Depot

Question 1

How often should I add fresh soil to my raised beds?

Accepted Answer

Refilling the soil in your raised beds every 2-3 years is a good practice. This helps maintain optimal nutrients and drainage, ensuring healthy plant growth.

Question 2

When is the best time to apply soil amendments?

Accepted Answer

The optimal time to apply soil amendments is in the fall or early spring. This gives them time to break down and integrate into the soil before planting season. However, you can also add them throughout the growing season as needed.

Question 3

Are topsoil and garden soil different?

Accepted Answer

Topsoil refers to the uppermost layer of soil, typically 6-8 inches deep. It's often rich in organic matter and nutrients, making it ideal for planting. Garden soil is a broader term encompassing a range of soil types, including topsoil, used for gardening.

Question 4

Why is perlite a popular soil amendment for gardeners?

Accepted Answer

Perlite, a lightweight volcanic material, is prized by gardeners for its ability to improve soil structure. It enhances drainage and aeration, preventing soil compaction and promoting healthy root growth. Perlite is versatile, used in potting mixes, seed starting, and to lighten heavy garden soils. Its moisture-retaining properties allow excess water to drain, making it ideal for various plants and growing conditions.
