I put this question here only because I grow most of mine in pots.
Does anybody on the forum use Vermiculite still?
And if you do, where do you get your supply from?
I have been doing some reading of rooting different things, and alot of the sites list Vermiculite as one of the mediums. Since the asbestos scare in the early 90's, vermiculite is very hard to come by.
Aparently some pool companies still use it, Never knew that!
Just throwing this out there, I know there are lots of other things to use.
Perlite, sand, Peat, CHC..etc.
Thoughts?!

We still have it up here in Canada, lots of stores sell it but I don't think that helps you. I would perlite as I think it is almost the same but not sure how about we hear what everyone else has to say.
