Vermiculite Medium Grade - 20 Qt Bag

Looser Media, Better Root Zone Moisture - 20 Qt Bag

Compacted media makes it hard for roots to spread and breathe. This medium grade horticultural vermiculite keeps media from clumping, holds moisture and nutrients for later use, and leaves room for air around the roots. The distributor describes it as clean, odorless, non-toxic and completely sterile.

The 20 Qt bag suits small-area gardeners, hobbyists and growers blending media for hydroponic systems or mixing small batches. Commercial operations can order by the bag, though this item has an order minimum.
