i need to know what sort of material you would use to grow plants vegetatively.like in leaf layering or tip cutting.
I can no longer buy either in my area as it was found harmful to angle worms.
Vermiculite is generally used outdoors for moisture retention and soil conditioning. Perlite is best used in potting soils for houseplants. I don't believe either is appropriate for compost. Compost should be made up of organic matter only.
