The local HD had a big bag of perlite a couple of years ago
sitting in the garden dept. It was $17. I did not need it, so
I passed it by. The next spring, it was still there, just the one
bag, a whole year later.

That might explain the reluctance of big box stores to stock
this stuff in quantity. (In a nursery supply or farm store,
it probably would have been gone in a week.)
