5 out of 5 stars VERMICULITE IS GETTING HARDER TO FIND!   April 8, 2010

Unfortunately, because of some unfounded fears about the makeup of vermiculite, it is getting harder to find...which is a shame, since it is a useful additive to potting mixes. Unless you're planning to eat, smoke or inhale it (and you can always wear a dust mask when mixing soils!), I wouldn't worry about using it. It works great at keeping a potted soil mix friable and aerated...which is great for a plant's root system.

Many think Vermiculite and Perlite are similar. They are not. For some reason Vermiculite is difficult to find locally and on the internet. Vermiculite retains moisture Perlite retains oxygen. Both are valuable and I use them in conjunction with great results. Try equal parts of both with worm castings for a great potting medium. Add some worm castings and the result is better than a miracle.

If you have never used vermiculite before and you live in an area with poor soil, then you are missing out. Vermiculite is a great 3-in-1 conditioner. Vermiculite is able to hold water and prevent draining, which is great if you live in an arid climate. It will also hold soil nutrients, and lastly, vermiculite has the property of exfoliation, where it expands and aerates the soil.

Unfortunately, it's difficult to find vermiculite in bulk. The Hoffman Vermiculite contains 222 cubic inches of finely grained vermiculite. It is more useful for germinating seeds and potting than conditioning your entire garden.
