@brittneysblooms: Perlite for plants: I used to think those little white pieces in soil were just random filler… turns out it actually helps with drainage, airflow, and preventing root rot 🌱 Since I’m using bulk soil (topsoil + leaf compost), adding perlite in my raised garden bed makes such a difference in how the soil performs 🙌🏻 Also… spilling it all over the side of the bed added a casual 45 minutes of cleanup 😭 learn from me lol #perlite #gardeningtips #raisedgardenbed #2026garden #zone7b
