I see.. i did add a bit of gravel (its what i could find) and charcoal to the mix when i planted the sprout in..If perlite is not an option then, get some small gravel(rocks) and sanitize them by heating them. Wash them off and mix with your soil. The goal is to keep the dirt from compacting and forcing the oxygen out of the root system. To those that take exception to the fine gravel, this was a common practice long before perlite and vermiculite.
