Customers are mixed about the size of the soil. Some mention that the size is good, while others say that it's small and almost like powder. The particle size is incredibly variable, so if you're looking for uniformity, this may not be the product for you.

9 customers mention6 positive3 negative

Customers are mixed about the vermiculite. Some mention it's good vermiculite, but not as fine grade as they had hoped for. However, others say that there is vermicute everywhere, it'd been tussled into powder, and some loose vermiculate flew out when they opened the box.

"High grade vermiculite, but they lie about the volume. Every package I've purchased only has 6 qts when measured, not 8 as the package content says...." Read more

"...so (probably due to handling) when I opened the box, some loose vermiculite flew out...." Read more

"Needed for substrate for mycology. The size is good and the vermiculite is nice and clean...." Read more

"Good medium grade vermiculite. Not half medium grade, half sand, as with other brands. Nice and fluffy, good quality for planting and PF tek." Read more

Messed up bag!!!
1 Star
Messed up bag!!!
This is the second time that I have received a this product in this condition. A total of 16 wholes have been punctured into the bag. 8 in the front and 8 in the back. The bag is covered in vermiculite dust, making touching the bag very unappealing. If holes were punctured in the bag so as to release air, are 16!!!! holes necessary? It's over-kill. Moreover, should the air be let out?? The product is described as coarse vermiculate, but with no air to cushion the contents, the vermiculite is tussled into powder!!The only reason I am not returning it, is because the cost of the product is not worth the time and hassle of schlepping it over to the UPS store.
