    Is this vermiculite ok?
    I picked up some vermiculite from Lowe's yesterday and just wanted to make sure it was ok to use. I can't find on the package where it has any other additives like miracle gro. Thanks for any help.

    As long as it is pure vermiculite with no extras it should work fine. I get mine from Lowes, it's another name brand though.

    I'm only expecting one clutch this year, so I don't need that much. Thanks for the heads up though. :gj:

    I bought the same thing and was wondering that also. I bought it after I saw that the soil amending ingredient is 100% Vermiculite. I'm supposing that's what we need.

    I saw the same note... I'm pretty sure we've got the right thing. Good luck to you with your clutch(es)!

    Looks OK to me. I'm not even sure I've ever even seen vermiculite with added stuff in it.

    if your just expecting one clutch, you could always just buy a bag of Hatchrite....
