    Incubation Substrate

    This year im gonna try to use something besides hatchrite. Im looking for something online as my area dont carry it. Perlite or vermiculite is what i want to use for substrate-less incubation.

    any onek now of a site that sells it cheap. beanfarn is over priced on shipping since perlite is light.

    Well i forgot all about big apple pet supply. They carry a 8qt bag of vermiculite for 8.95. So was a good deal for me since its not sold around here.

    You should be able to get vermiculite or perlite at any garden store.

    every store i go to only carries perlite with miracle grow. and no store carries vermiculite anymore due to asbestos. SO they discontinued the products.
