Does anybody use perlite or vermiculite in their soil to help hold moisture?

I do in the immediate area of the planting hole. It's way to expensive to hit the whole 1000 sq. ft. Good ole horse manure and straw is alot cheeper and amply abundant...

I wish we had a WalMart here randy! Pappy, try to maintain about a 10% 0rganic content in your growing medium. In my main root ball area I like nice loose soil with lots of vermiculite, peat moss, and perlite for around 3x3x3....
