Hi Rajiv ji.. Thank you.. I have tried some nurseries (some big nurseries too) but nobody knows about it.. they know about perlite and vermiculite but not soilrite.. I think it is not that much familiar here in Chennai.. Can any of you help me out to source.. I could not able to get it online too.. wherein a website is selling it for 350/kg..

why font you go for branded one like ada or platinum.
if you still want to go for some substiture, go for vermicompost or humus. Both very good.
