Alright, I'm having a really hard time finding potting soil that doesn't have perlite (the little white balls) in it. Even when I google something like "organic potting soil without perlite" it gives me results for organic WITH perlite. Google has failed me, so I need your alls help. I need to transplant the plants that I do have into safe soil.

Foxfarm is a good potting soil in general. Otherwise you can mix peat, sand, fine gravel screenings, etc. for your own homemade organic soil.

Another options is "mulching" with larger gravel/stones so that the birds are unable/unlikely to dig into the pots. This will alter the amount of water retained in the pots, so make sure to not overwater your plants if you go this route. :)
