VERMICULITE - WHERE ARE YOU
    #5827997 - 07/06/06 03:06 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Well here in the good old USA my sources of Vermiculite have gone dry do to some kind of asbestos stuff.  :eek:  Does anyone have a source of it handy as I cant get all kinds of stuff without ordering it out of California.  Grr  :mad2: Freight is a lot.

Lowes Home Impovement has it. Its in a red bag in there garden section.

Not sure if there is one near you though, if not, check out the shroomery vendors, some of them carry it.

its getting harder to find here in Seattle too.


my last bag(4 cubic ft) I had to go to a nursery and have them special order it.

you might try doing that.




you can also call Thermo rock and they will locate a business in your area that carries their product!~

Look in your local yellow pages under feed, there is a whole section in mine and I'm not even in a rural area. One stop shop as long as they're well stocked. Mine local feed store had verm, crushed limestone, peat, crushed oyster shells, oyster shell flour, hydrated lime, and a bout a billion other cool items like wheat straw, barley straw, rice straw. If you can grow with it, they carry it!

I was getting it from the biggest in town farm supplier. They special ordered it for me last time and now they cannot get it. Ill call around some more. I have a Lowes but I do not think they carry it where I am.

Usally Lowes will order it if you talk to the manager. They usally want to keep customers happy and I have had them order me stuff before.

We don't have it in my neck of the woods so I used Schultz Multi-Purpose Soil Conditioner instead. I THINK it's basically crushed expanded clay.



Says right on the bag it's a replacement for vermiculite. I've found it's good to cut hpoo with (aerates quite well) and makes a nice casing layer, too.
