I actually found some at Lowes in another town that's close to mine.  I'm going back to that place with both bags and going to throw a fit.  Maybe pouring the bag of verm they sold me over the counter when I leave.  It was 5 bucks so I'm not THAT worried about it.  But it is about principle they shouldnt be able to sell something that's marked wrong.

At least my mushrooms look good

Yah, I wouldn't worry about 5 bucks, I'd just be pissed over the principle of the thing. Definitely throw that vermiculite all over the store if they don't give you your money back.

Funny how most replies avoided the bottom line, what to do with the excess moisture in the greenhouse.  I don't know if this is a good idea according to the pro cultivators on this board, but its working for me.  I simply stilted my greenhouse on small shoebox sized plastic bins and poked two 1/4" holes about an 1.5" apart in the very center of the floor of the greenhouse.  My greenhouse is a plastic fabric like material so I just press the middle down toward the floor and it lets the water run out.  Every so often I will towel dry all the nooks and crannies in there and hit it with some lysol just to keep mold from forming.  Just make sure the drip pan you use underneath doesn't have a microscopic hole in it :crazy: that shit drove me crazy for a few days (i thought the water was running from the holes by adhesion.

I don't see what would be wrong with using that vermiculite to soak up the water. I think a better use would be to fling it around that store though. Bastards.
