Re: Help! I need vermiculite.

I've been told that vermiculite is used for insulation and can sometimes
be found at home centers or builder's supply stores, not in the
gardening department but where they sell construction materials.  The
gardening department has the small bags.
I had to have my garden center order some for me and it was $12 per 4
cu. ft. bag.
