If you can't find it in stores around you right now, it may be because of the time of year. Fortunately, spring is just around the corner and stores will start to carry it again soon, as they get ready for the onslaught of planting. That is, if they carry it at all. Have you asked the employees at these places to see if this is the case or if they're even familiar with the term? Good luck.

Have you tried specialty gardening stores. Your local nursery should carry all kinds of mycology type products...verm, perlite, crushed oyster shell, lime, etc.

Most any garden supply centers should have it, but I would recommend asking an employee. Its harder to find during the winter months, and some places have even told me they wont be carrying it in the spring due to discontinuation. I was informed at a Lowes near me that they had discontinued their verm, however they did say they would be stocking it until their supply center ran out. I know Ill be stocking up once their next shipment comes in.
When in doubt, ask someone who works there.

yup everyone tells me its the old asbestos thing cause awhile back they found some in the verm and since they still do constant testing and havent found any since that isolated incodent but yet people think it has it in it. Its like someone gets bit by a shark on a beach everyone is scared of swimming at that beach for years you know its stupid.

AFOAF is from Mass. Took him forever to find it. Lowe's home garden center in Burlington is where I beleive he finally located it. They had 3 bags. Bought them all, but they should have had pleanty of time to restock by now.

i called home depot and Wal-mart, and they said they only had perlite. They said it was equivalent to vermaculite.
So would it be ok just to use perlite?

Check the local hardware stores its a bit pricy but they tend to carry it year round. Walmart lowes home depot only carry verm in warm weather, which if I remember last about 2 months in mass. Gods but thats a cold state. lived there for 3 years never want to go back.
