Vermiculite

Vermiculite has been used by plantsmen, propagators, growers and gardeners for decades and our standard Vermiculite and Fine Grade Vermiculite will allow you to improve your seed sowing germination rates and give your seed and potting compost mixes the edge.

Supplied in easily manageable re-sealable bags, both grades of vermiculite - a naturally occuring non-toxic mineral - will benefit seeds and seedlings; the standard is ideal for mixing with seed sowing and potting composts where it absorbs nutrients and moisture before releasing them near the rootzone, whilst the fine grade is perfectly suited for raising and covering smaller seeds where damaging soil temperature fluctuations are kept to minimum.

Simply mix the vermiculite with potting compost, use exclusively as a seed sowing medium or cover your seeds after sowing and just watch the results!
