I live in karachi. Can you tell me from where I can get Cheap Peat Moss, Compost and Perlite?
I get to know only one shop in karachi Vitex Garden and they are selling 100gm of Perlite for Rs.500/- way too much
If you don't know any shop in karachi then I can get it from other city as well of they are cheap and worth to have it.
Thanks

For starting seeds just mix 1/4 finely crumbled well rotted khaad/compost and 3/4 plain baalu mitti. Works well.
