Gardening
with
Perlite
By
mixing
horticultural
perlite
and
peat
moss
together,
growers
can
produce
rooftop
gardens
that
give
back
to
the
environment
without
the
weight
of
normal
soil.
Additional
advantages
are

perlite
is
lightweight,

deteriorate,

and

food, chemically
inert,
completely
sterile,
safe
and
easy
to

Earthbag
Roundhouse
Building
with
Perlite
Perlite
is
a
top
choice
for
building
earthbag
roundhouses
because
its
R-value
of
2.7
per
inch.
15?
provides
R-40
walls
all
around.
That’s
roughly
double
a
superinsulated
house.
Even
the
tiniest
heater
would
keep
a
small
roundhouse
warm
if
you
have
adequate
roof
and
floor
insulation.
