15 QT Professional Grade Horticultural Organic Vermiculite (15 QT, Vermiculite)

My favorite for mixing into my soup for my houseplant collection. Great price and large quantity. The inner bag does rip very easily, be careful.

Item was good but it arrives 3 days later than the promised time said

I grow most of our veggies in our basement and use a high quality potting soil for all of them. Many of the veggies I grow require evenly moist soil that does not compact and that drains well. This vermiculite is very light weight and does not add to weight of the pot, yet it absorbs enough moisture to keep the soil moist while allowing better drainage of excess water.I have been adding this vermiculite to my potting soil, and it seems to be helping a lot with the plants that need to be kept moist, such as cucumber, string beans and tomatoes. It is easier to keep them moist without overwatering them. This vermiculite also helps to keep the soil looser so that it doesn't compact with watering. For example, carrots are easier to harvest since they are not stuck in the soil. To easily harvest carrots without breaking them, first push them down, and then they easily pull out of the soil.30 quarts of vermiculite goes a long way even with the amount of plants I grow. It comes in a plastic bag in a box. I just leave the opened bag in the box and use as needed. When plants are watered, it does not float to the top as perlite does - it stays in the soil. I noticed that this vermiculite is not quite as fine as vermiculite I have bought in the past, and, considering the quantity of 30 quarts, it is less expensive than others I have found. I like this better since it does a better job of keeping the soil loose and aerated. This vermiculite is more of a gold color rather than the light brown color of others I have bought. I really like this vermiculite and what it does for my plants. I definitely plan to buy more of it.I hope this review was helpful for you.

Very large pieces as described. Great for chunky soil mixtures. Will purchase again.

Nice product

fast service and works wonders especially if you make your own planting soil.

I put this in pots of succulents, oregano and canna lilies. Amazing growth all summer long. I stirred the rest into a 4 foot by 24 foot raised bed. I bought 30 quarts and there was plenty to go around. The bed also contained premium garden soil, worm castings and espoma plant tone. The harvest was bountiful for tomatoes, sunflowers, parsley and basil. I’m going to buy again this season…50 quarts now!

This stuff comes loose in an unsealed bag so expect it to be all over the place when you open the box. But it's perlite and it's the right size. Still I'd have paid a quarter more if it was in a seale bag
