    Question about Vermiculite/perilite???

    Can anyone point me to a local place to buy either or both of these? I want to try not to buy online if I can help it. Does any plant or garden center carry either of these products?

    I find perilite at Walmart. Though being the end of the season might be tricky this time of year. Good Luck.

    Re: Question about Vermiculite/perilite???

    Home Depot and Lowes don't tend to carry Perlite that doesn't have Miracle Grow in it. I went to a smaller nursery chain local to me and bought four cubic feet of Perlite, and used that exclusively this season with great success. I do NOT use the substrateless method, so I mixed with water until just slighltly moist to the touch and would clump together when squeezed, but easily crumble.

    I could never find any that didn't have Miracle Grow in it at my Walmart.

    Interesting...my Wally World only carries small bags and it is just plain stuff. I think it is like $4.96 a bag (it has nothing in it)
