What Type of Vermiculite Is Necessary? Will Gas Log Vermiculite Work?
    #26626137 - 04/25/20 02:37 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

I have gas log vermiculite. Is it possible to use this type to mix with my coir bricks? Or do I necessarily need fine vermiculite?

Regards,

You don't need fine vermiculite. I like bigger granules myself.

Are you sure that I don't need fine vermiculite?

Coir can be used as a casing material without verm. Not sure if Verm provides some kind of advantage over pure coir :shrug:

Most of the tutorials I read advise to use both.

I prefer fine verm if added to casing and course verm for subs.

Which works out for me considering a small bag of fine is $4 and lasts a long time. A huge bag of course verm is $16 and i get about 16-18 monos from it. Which lasts about 2 weeks.
