What kind of concrete do you use for a pizza oven?
Perlite aggregate combined with Portland cement and water produces a light weight insulating concrete used for pizza ovens.
Which is better Cocopeat or perlite?
Dry coco peat is very hydrophilic and quickly absorbs water making it easy to use. Unlike inorganic medium such as perlite, vermiculite or rockwool, coco peat can be compressed to one fifth or less of its volume reducing transportation, storage and handling costs. Coco peat is a renewable media.
Which is better vermiculite or perlite?
Both perlite and vermiculite have neutral pH levels and retain water well. Vermiculite, however, has a reputation for holding a greater amount of water than perlite does.
