Both vermiculite and perlite loosen the soil and make it more airy. Years ago, I read Mel Bartholomew's, "Square Foot Gardening," and it was the best backyard gardening book I ever read, and really changed my thinking on backyard gardening. Up until then I had always had a tiny farm type system with rows and furrows between them. I went to a raised bed system and maintain that to this day. Bartholomew highly recommended vermiculite in the garden and in seed starting, for its soil conditioning and moisture retention. He says it should be 10 to 20 percent of your garden soil, because vermiculite holds water like a sponge whereas perlite does not, and has the same aeration qualities. I have used vermiculite for decades, but it has gotten expensive. I normally buy a huge bag — 2 to 4 cu ft — but it's gotten hard to fine and very pricy. I like the fine grade for seed starting and the coarse for the garden soil. Every spring I will sprinkle a layer over each garden bed and work it into the solid. In my hot climate, it makes a real difference in the summer months.

This is probably a better deal if you need a lot of coconut coir. This compressed block makes about 15 gallons or 60 quarts.

This is a great price on vermiculite. I like the fine grade for seed starting but use the corse in the garden as a soil conditioner. As I understand it, vermiculite holds moisture but perlite does not.

Agreed, I noticed I can go a little longer between watering with the vegetables using vermiculite.

I've used brick and pre-fluffed and washed coco. It's a little cheaper for the bricks for sure. But the time and hassle saved buying the pre-fluffed is well worth the cost.

I've been using it for cannabis for years and my favorite product is the Fox Farms 70/30 Cultivation Nation. It's a perfect mix of washed coco and vermiculite ready to go out of the bag.

Yes, garage is fine, I keep mine outside. It's fine as long as it stays closed up and dry.

Vermiculite is dead, coco is still available and I needed some! I have never used vermiculite, my default potting mix is Foxfarm Ocean Forest amended with a good amount of perlite and coco coir (plus some earthworm castings and blood/bone meal depending on what I'm planting). Is vermiculite necessary for more moisture-loving plants? I've been growing herbs and ornamental plants for 3 years with my regular mix and things are pretty good.

What's the time and hassle savings? You add hot water, and 3 minutes later, you're ready to go with the bricks. If you're using a lot, I guess I can see the time savings, but the Burpee 8qt brick is usually <$4.

Do you have to apply vermiculite every season?

Good deal if you need this much at once, but I prefer the eco earth coir at PetSmart and they're currently running a buy 1 get 1 half off promotion. The loose coir is nice for smaller amounts and their bricks come 3 in a pack, but are separated so you don't just have one big block.
