I cant find verm in Rhode Island!!!

I live in southern RI near Narragansett and I am having trouble finding many growing supplies. Most of all though, I can't find vermiculite anywhere. I can't drive, so that limits me immensely.
I walked into town yesterday and picked up a bunch of organic BRF, and almost everything else I need. But all the stores that I went to had no vermiculite. And two stores that would have definitely had it shut down last year.
Does anyone know where there might be some within walking distance of South Kingstown High School? Anywhere in the town of Wakefield?
Will perlite serve the same purpose? I haven't looked for that anywhere though.
Anyone living in Rhode Island, a hook up of verm. would be greatly appreciated.

Can you get Mail? I'm sure one of us here on the shroomery wouldn't mind doing the leg work for you and ship it too you at cost. I wouldn't have a problem getting you some. I live about a mile from my favorite Nursery. They always carry Verm. LOL! I buy them out sometimes.

I had the same issue. Try Menards. They have $10 bags that are HUGE. They go by the brand name MicaFlake. Ask for it, tell them it's for insulation and they'll direct you to the warehouse.
Perlite will not work the same.

Myco Supply is a Shroomery sponsor they sell just what you need and it will be mailed right to your door. if they are out try MycoPath they are a Shroomery sponsor also. just look at the advertisement box at the top of the web screen above and click on sponsors. A list of all Shroomery sponsors will come up, you will see these dealers i told you about listed. I deal with both of them regularly and they are both very reputable and highly recommended. Peace> goodluck
