CAREFUL: Jiffy Mix now contains perlite instead of vermiculite.

Much to my sadness, I went to WallyWorld and saw that the good ole jiffy mix we have grown to love now has perlite instead of vermiculite.
There may be different kinds, but I just wanted to let people know to LOOK at it prior to buying it if you are just going to grab it off the shelf.
Shroom on!

That sucks, i just realized that I have 3 bags w/perlite and more importantly I just cased 3 bins with this crap. Any idea how the perlite will affect my casings?

Well I am glad there are different kinds. Are you sure that HD just doesn't have overstock of the old stuff? Cuz the wallyworld always had the regular verm stuff, but now is stocking the perlite stuff.
