Really holds moisture!
I added a cup of water to about a third of this bag to create a moist bed for some turtle eggs, and in a month, I've only had to add water once, and it hasn't rained once, so it's super dry here. I can't believe how well this stuff holds water! Top to learn more
Good Stuff!
Exactly what I was looking for! I Needed the vermiculite to incubate bearded dragon eggs and they are doing great! I would definitely come back for all my vermiculite needs. Top to learn more

Amazing Soil Conditioner
If you have never used vermiculite before and you live in an area with poor soil, then you are missing out. Vermiculite is a great 3-in-1 conditioner. Vermiculite is able to hold water and prevent draining, which is great if you live in an arid climate. It will also hold soil nutrients, and lastly, vermiculite has the property of exfoliation, where it expands and aerates the soil.Unfortunately, it's difficult to find vermiculite in bulk. The Hoffman Vermiculite contains 222 cubic inches of finely grained vermiculite. It is more useful for germinating seeds and potting than conditioning your entire garden.

Worth the search
Many think Vermiculite and Perlite are similar. They are not. For some reason Vermiculite is difficult to find locally and on the internet. Vermiculite retains moisture Perlite retains oxygen. Both are valuable and I use them in conjunction with great results. Try equal parts of both with worm castings for a great potting medium. Add some worm castings and the result is better than a miracle.

VERMICULITE IS GETTING HARDER TO FIND!
Unfortunately, because of some unfounded fears about the makeup of vermiculite, it is getting harder to find...which is a shame, since it is a useful additive to potting mixes. Unless you're planning to eat, smoke or inhale it (and you can always wear a dust mask when mixing soils!), I wouldn't worry about using it. It works great at keeping a potted soil mix friable and aerated...which is great for a plant's root system.

18 QT = 1 c.f.
I just mixed up Mel's mix using this and it seems to work fine. After doing the calculations and comparing the volume of this product with other ingredients such as the peat moss, it appears each bag is about 1 cubic foot. Mixing this growing soil mix has been the most expensive part of my raised bed gardening project, but it makes a great growing medium by just looking at it.So one star off because the stuff is priced a bit on the high side.When I ordered mine it was eligible for Amazon Prime. After I ordered it, they took it off Prime and only available via 3rd party sellers now :(. Top to learn more

Good quality vermiculite, coarse
I bought some vermiculite at a local nursery first, and it was terrible. The bag showed pictures of nice coarse vermiculite but when I got home I found it to be fine sand-like particles. This Espoma vermiculite from Amazon costs more but it is a high quality coarse vermiculite. Guess I'll order a few more bags from Amazon now that I've seen what the product actually looks like.

Arrived in a timely manner with packaging intact. Mixes and wets well, not too much dust (a frequent byproduct so wear mask when using and don't try on a windy day!). I create my own potting mix for raised containers, so this was an excellent component. Top to learn more

Good Stuff
I bought this to mix in equal amounts with vermiculite for a growing medium. Product works as expected in regards to aeration/water retention (when mixed with vermiculite), if you are going to use as your medium you definately want to use vermiculite with it as one procides the aeration you need and the other provides the water retention.Be advised, if you use products like these buy a little cotton mask to wear while you first get it set up....it can be harmful over time to breathe the dust they will put off....once you moisten it down that issue goes away. Make sure to wash your hands when done handling as well. Top to learn more
Vermiculite is an important ingredient of Mel’s Mix , the gardening soil I use in my square foot garden. Where can I buy vermiculite. Sometimes “box stores” like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, or Lowes will carry vermiculite. Here is a link to a list of stores that carry vermiculite across the USA. I am quite confident that the problem was identified, and the vermiculite currently sold in stores is safe. It is possible that older vermiculite (like that you might find in attic or wall insulation) was contaminated. In the past, vermiculite was sometimes mined from the same location as asbestos, which is quite toxic and dangerous. If you simply cannot find vermiculite, you have an alternative. Is vermiculite safe. Are there substitutes for vermiculite.
00, which seems like a total rip off to me for what the thing actually is. I cover my sown seeds with plastic covers…I use the Jiffy “greenhouses” which are just flats with a flimsy plastic top but they’re easy to ventilate and work very well. I like to go and beg my local guy for a bag of his but if I find it on sale at the end of the year in the big box stores, I’ll buy a bunch of it in small bags then. I tend to shy away from transplants at big box stores because I’m not sure what kind of watering they’ve received, diseases they’ve been exposed to or what night time temperatures they’ve had to endure. I don’t have a greenhouse or cold frame so I start my seeds indoors under lights, generally beginning sometime in March with the cool weather crops I don’t direct sow outdoors (cabbage mostly, and lettuce). I’ve invested in a seedling heat mat , which is a flat rubber heating pad that you put underneath a flat or container holding your sown seeds and it provides gentle bottom heat to aid in germination. I also use vermiculite to cover the seeds. I drop tiny lettuce seeds onto darkness and I cover them gently with vermiculite. I know about small things, insignificant things and how big they can become. I do buy some transplants if I can get them early enough from a good quality source like my local guy (McDaniels Farm on M-15). I run the plastic bottoms and tops through my dishwasher and they hold up better than the cheap flimsy stuff like the Jiffy greenhouses so I reuse them year after year. Small things, insignificant by themselves, become power in the right hands and in the right order. When I use plain peat pots, I choose a good quality sterile seed starting mix. One of the best books I’ve found with charts for when to start seeds indoors and out is Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew . How small things, in the right hands or not there at all, can either make you want to grow or want to wither. I use peat pots or those little Jiffy netted pots that come as a dry disk.
