[IBC] Granite Grit

Why is it important to include granite grit in a potting medium? If I
use turface, is there still a need for it?
I use a mix that includes three ingredients.
1. Something to retain moisture without getting soggy - Turface
2. Something organic - maybe to keep beneficial soil bacteria
alive - Composted Pine Bark
3. AND something to promote good drainage - pea gravel or granite
grit.
