Wood will intake N until it rots then release it, it will also hold moisture.

Vermiculite, clean lava rock smashed up and crushed red bricks all work very well.

I use vermiculite because the only perilite I can find locally is Miracle Grow brand

I use vermiculite in my soil mix along with perilite man that really helps keep the soil loosened. Good luck

Search for Leca- I been using this. The leca is bigger than perlite, so you get better oxygen and drainage in your pot. Very effective
