PLANT!T Vermiculite 100L Bag

Fast next day delivery, and good value

The media could not be loaded. Wasn't sure what to expect from such a large quantity. This bag is HUGE!!!!! It's similar to a large sack of flour in terms of size. Really happy with it, very light and not heavy at all. I have limited mobility and I could life the bag no problem. I even tried to lift it one handed and I could!I got it to help retain moisture in potted plants, to help cut back on the amount of watering I need to do. It's good quality and the pieces are small but not tiny, so perfect for pots. You can get bigger size pieces for outdoor use to add straight to your garden soil, but this is perfect for my needs. There's a mix of small sizes in the bag as you can see from the film I attached. This not only helps retain moisture but will help drainage and open up the soil too, so helping prevent soil compaction. I know perlite is better at adding drainage, but this is better for my needs as it helps retain water but perlite doesn't.Be aware this stuff is as light as air and will blow away easily with the slightest breeze. So choose a sheltered spot if using outside and close the nearest window if using inside!It doesn't give off too much dust, but it does give off some. So if using it a lot, you can decant some and lightly spray with water to help keep the dust at bay until mixed with your compost. I found that moving slowly while using this helped prevent a lot of dust being created. Then as soon as you mix it with compost, which is damp, no more dust came off it.For ratio, I mix anywhere from 15-25%, depending on the plants. For fruit trees and salad crops in pots up to 45cm diameter, I use about 15% vermiculite, a handful of perlite and the rest compost and manure. For my date palms that need much more drainage I use 25% vermiculite and compost only, no perlite. I hope this helps give you an idea of how much to use for what plant.Overall very happy with this and will definitely buy again, though this bag will last me ages!!

Great for incorporating into seed compost mixes to help retain heat, drainage, and as a dressing ontop to prevent water evaporation and the compost drying out. Seedling have not trouble pushing there way through.Overall a fantastic product.

Bought this and 100l of perlite. The perlite was a total let down as it was mostly powder, but this has been great. I wouldnt use too much, may 15-20% as it does hold onto water quite well. It's a bit on the expensive side, but generally happy with the product.

The media could not be loaded. Great value for money. I didn’t need 100l but the price wasn’t much more than a 20l bag. Good quality stuff and it will last me years. Easy to mix in with compost and not just dust like some of the more expensive alternatives. Very effective at aiding germination and early growth.

This is the 2nd bag I've ordered this year and I'm sharing with a friend who finished her 10L bag bought from a garden center for £10. She couldn't believe how reasonable this bag but didnt need 100L. I have used vermiculite every year in seed sowing and after watching a video on you tube I realised that I needed more vermiculite in my seed sowing mix. However its very expensive in the shops so I looked for a cheaper alternative. This vermiculite was exceptional value and arrived very quickly. The actual particles are small so perfect for all my seeds. I cannot recommend this particular make enough. Its fantastic value and there is so much that you can be generous in your seed mix. Plenty left over for potting on mix as well. I will definitely be buying another bag ready for my autumn seed sowing.

Pieces are a little larger than I expected but they do the same job. Would recommend.

I use this constantly in pots and compost mixes. It’s good value. Clean and easy to use. Although it’s a large quantity I can store most of it in a tall lidded bin in my garden shed. The rest remains in its bag in a box out of the way.
