Where to buy vermiculite?

Where can I get vermiculite at? Any special kind I need for an egg box?

Home depot, local feed stores, nurseries, it might be hard to find it right now but it will be readily available in the spring.

If your big box stores are out for the season I've ordered it from Amazon cheap before.

i just looked on Amazon. There are so many different kinds. What's the right stuff of egg box?

I just read the ingredients and make sure it's as organic as possible with no added pesticides or chemicals.

The Ace Hardware near me had some without the additives. Used it last season and it's great. Might want to check your local store.

Here is what I used to get from the feed store or nursery (now I only get perlite)

What's the difference between vermiculite and perilite?

I get mine from Rona lol I bought a 7 doller bag 3 years ago and just ran out this season time to get more lol if I never seen this I wouldn't have noticed

I also use just the vermiculite while incubating and never had any problems and all my eggs have had a 100% hatch rate unless they were slugs but fingers crossed I never get any but I have had 0 slugs in my 5 clutches so far and I've even hatched an egg that was 2 that formed together in the mom I thought it was a funny egg at first but then seen the line that made it 2 separate eggs both albinos :)
