Default Peat Moss Substitute?

I did a quick search for Perlite on the web and since it virtually lasts
forever it may be a good choice. I couldn't seem to find out however, the
amount needed per square foot... any idea what that would be?

but they tend to make it even harder.

Peat works the best so far but I was hoping to find something a little
cheaper???




Pearlite???

It does not decompose so might be cheaper in the long run?
