i was in walmart today and they had 1/2 dozen bags or so. remember to check the bag and make sure it is 100% perlite? i don't know if they ever mix fertilizer w/ it or not, but read just to make sure.

Perlite is a blown glass substance I believe,it is used as a potting soil additive to loosen the soil and improve air flow for the roots. You should be able to get it in the plant department of most stores. Is cheap and good product. If all else fails try a local nursery.
