- Buyers who want a large volume of perlite for indoor or outdoor growing.

## Less suited to

- Buyers seeking a nutrient-rich compost rather than a soil additive or growing medium.

For buyers handling a 50-litre bag, dust may affect preparation and handling, while the favourable reports relate to general use rather than independently verified performance.
