Perlite in ground

[T macc]

Is it necessary to mix perlite in ground soil?

Im going to dig a 3x3x3 hole and just use native soil and Miracle Gro Organic at a 2:1 ratio. And i will also throw some bone meal in there. But so should i use any perlite?

its not NECESSARY but it will help with water absorption. so, no is your answer.

if you can find something other than mg, get it! i don't think i'd use any native soil. i'd use perlite, pure soil can really get compacted. you don't want that. i'd also use some dolomite lime for ph issues.

There is nothing wrong with the organic line Miracle grow offers. beware of fungus gnats though. I don't think they sterilize it because of the beneficial bacteria and micro organisms.
