Vermiculite. ...The other substrate.

Well, I can only source medium grade vermiculite locally, which isn't preferred. Of the two brands however Country Cottage is way better. I used another brand once (NK Lawn & Garden) and it absorbs a lot less water for some reason.
Edit: Yes, get the cheapest verm. That doesn't mean it doesn't differ from brand to brand when achieving field capacity. Just always check that it's correct

Cheap verm is the best verm. Pool/spa builder supply stores sell 25 pounds of it for ~5 bucks. It's used to contour the banked edges of pools. This is typically "fine" grade.

the cheapest I have seen was from u-line for shipping boxes with fluids or chemicals, but you have to buy two huge bags.
