Those light little white "rocks" in your bag of potting soil? They might come from Arizona!
Did you know that Arizona is home to Perlite Mining? First discovered in the 1880's Perlite is used in construction products & the horticulture industry. Perlite added to soil increases the amount of oxygen held in the soil, as well as the amount of water retained by the soil.
