Or get back kow and add perlite but he said ffof because it's got perlite premixed
LIKE top,with extra perlite for some light reflection
Why vermiculite that's for starting seeds and germination only
The whole idea that Vermiculite is only good for "Purpose A" and Perlite is only good for "Purpose B" is fairly new and totaly over-rated. Some of us old timers have been using the two materials, interchangably, for well over two decades (some of us still do!). One may work a little better at a given task - but to say either material is only good for one function just proves that you lack the practical experience of having actualy worked with the materials in question for any other purpose!
Well I defiantly meant no offense to the old timers, but lets be clear on one thing, just because you used both and it work doesn't mean that's how it's suppose to be used. As far as working with the materials I use them both on a regular bases but they clearly explain what the general purpose of it is on the back of the bag. And vermiculite says for seed germination that's why I asked why would you use it. Clearly your response was more biased towards personal experience, not off product purpose. It really boils down to growers choice, and my post was merely a question.
This post is full of bias and devoid of science.
