Description

Palmetto Organic Professional Grade Vermiculite in a 4 cubic foot bag — about 30 gallons of A-2 medium vermiculite, OMRI Listed for organic use. It holds water evenly, making it a go-to for mushroom substrate hydration, casing layers and PF Tek.

The A-2 medium grade sits between fine and coarse, a better fit for mushroom work than the coarse vermiculite sold at most big-box stores. It’s asbestos-free.
