Purchased my soil yesterday for filling my new beds. I paid $10.50 for a 4 cubic foot bag of Vermiculite #3 Coarse here in the Orlando area. Anyone in this area looking for vermiculite, please email me for my source and driving directions.

| Hi Mary, I know this post is an old one, but do you still know anyone that sells vermiculite in the Orlando area? Everywhere I go doesn't carry it anymore. For what reason, no one can tell me. Thanks for your help! Dylan |

| I don't have exact prices... but the Urban Sunshine store carries Vermiculite and Pro-Mix, which is peat mixed with 15% vermiculite. My 3.8 Cu ft of Pro-Mix & 4 cu ft of vermiculite came to about $60. They have 3 stores in Orlando & 1 in Daytona. Their website is www.urbansunshine.com. They will deliver, but delivery charges were high. I got it at the South Orange Ave store in August, 2012 |

| I'm ready to add soil to my three raised beds 4x16...I've heard a good mix is 1/3 compost, 1/3 regular soil, 1/3 vermiculite...is that correct? What would you recommend? Judging by "bettyjo florida's" post, it seems like that would get pretty expensive... |

| The current recomendation for the "Mel's Mix" used in Square Foot Gardening is 1/3 compost, 1/3 vermiculite, and 1/3 peat (or something like coir, perilite but peat is recommended). |
