| Hi, does anyone know a (preferably cheap) source for large bags of vermiculite in the metro area? I want to try making hypertufa planters this spring. Thanks |

| The square foot gardening forum keeps a list of all the places to purchase vermiculite, with a few in Minnesota. I have bought it at Linder's in St. Paul and Anoka Ramsey Farm and Garden. Another place is your local Menards has a product called Sunshine Mica Flakes in the insulation section, which is vermiculite. Some people think it's too fine, but I used it for square foot gardening and was happy with the results. It's made by Sun Gro, the same people who make it for horticulture. If you do a search in the square foot gardening section you'll find lots of posts. |
