Cheap soil stays soggy... How do I increse aeration??

What are ways to increase soil aeration? My pots stays soggy for weeks...it dosent seem like it drys out??

coco, perlite, straw, manure, compost, forest duff, sphagnum moss. These will all increase aeration.

water your plants in trays. Put the water in the tray and the plant will take it up as needed. And mix in some perlite next time

if u want somthing fast, even sand, small pebbles, lava rock, ect ect

oh and what those two said....

Best way is definitely going to be perlite, just mix some with your soil and it will have much better drainage, and aeration.

I mix in Hydroton or perilite and it works GREAT i even put pure perilite or hydroton then last inch of pots and use a window screen to cover the pot holes so it doesnt spill out.25% perilite or hydroton and 75% soil

Benefits it gives are great such as better oxygen for roots(aeration) and way better drainage .when clones are 1-3 sometimes 4 weeks old my soil dries up within a week,and after the plant is big especially in flower i got to water 2x sometimes 3x a week i start in party cups then 1 gal then to 5 gal buckets

aipots are good for next time, look them up on youtube,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOf-39YS_GU

try buying some h2o2, hydrogen peroxide ...http://www.jasons-indoor-guide-to-organic-and-hydroponics-gardening.com/using-hydrogen-peroxide.html
