[TheForge] Vermiculite

[Ron Childers]

Local garden center had it- A big bag almost filled a 55 gal bbl. I think it
weighed around 20 #.

My son was working at the home depot in the garden department and they 
didn't have it, neither did our local Lowes. It may be one of those things 
that they get at the beginning of the season and then don't restock when 
they run out.

I got some vermiculite at Lowes and Southern States last year. It is a
seasonal item, but they might still have some or can get it.
