Pearlite in raised beds

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi,

I hope there is someone out there better at math than I.  I have (4) 
raised beds 4ft x 8ft x 18" high, the soil is about 15" high.  The 
beds dry out very quickly in the summer so I am adding pearlite and 
vermiculite to hopefully avoid the problem this summer.  The soil in 
the beds are comprised of top soil, mushroom soil, peat moss and a 
little compost.  I don't know how much of the pearlite and 
vermiculite I should add to an area that large.  I only have recipes 
for small quantities that call for cups.  I couldn't begin to tell 
you how many cups are in there.  Help please!!!!!!!


Thanks,

Sheila
