Product Description
Improves Aeration
It loosens the soil so roots can more easily reach down and grow through the soil.
Enhances Drainage
Vermiculite soaks up water like a sponge. It holds that water until the soil starts to dry out then releases it. This is good for moisture loving plants but not so good for plants that like dryer soil.
Adds permanent soil conditioner
Unlike compost, which eventually breaks down into the soil, vermiculite doesn’t break down. Compost does add vital nutrients, but if you need to permanently improve drainage, vermiculite is a great solution.
Slightly raises pH
Vermiculite is pH neutral, around 7.0 or so, but because of some compounds found within it, it can slightly raise pH, a plus for acidic soils.
Know about Vermiculite
What is Vermiculite?
Vermiculite can be found in potting soil or purchased by itself in four different sizes for gardening with vermiculite. Germinate seeds using the smallest size of vermiculite as a growing medium and the largest size for improved soil aeration. Vermiculite is the name of a group of hydrated laminar minerals (aluminum-iron magnesium silicates) which look like mica. Horticultural vermiculite is processed with massive heat that expands it into accordion shaped pellets composed of multiple layers of thin plates. It will not rot, deteriorate, or mold and is enduring, odorless, non-toxic and sterile.
Why is it helpful to gardeners?
You can use it to encourage seed germination and improve soil structure. This is because of its aeration and water-holding properties.
A Naturally Occurring Mineral
Vermiculite is a naturally occurring mineral that is mined and processed into a puffy, lightweight granule mixed with soil to improve aeration and drainage. It used to be inexpensive and easy to get. Problems with one mine that produced the majority of commercial vermiculite have made it difficult to find in some parts of the country and people worry that it is no longer safe.
BENEFITS OF VERMICULITE Good for potting mixes & as a stand-alone soilless medium. Improves Drainage & Aeration In Potting Mixes. Lightens soil and improves root and plant health. Assists with drainage and aeration for soil Vermiculite allows soil to retain maximum moisture and nutrients for later use Allows excellent aeration, reducing watering frequency and allowing root spread. Non-toxic and sterile – PH Neutral – Vermiculite helps soil maintain constant PH Levels
