Mel's new vermiculite!
Hey everyone, front page of squarefootgardening.com has a link:
http://www.squarefootgardening.com/new/coarse-vermiculite-2-cu-ft/
that leads to a page making available, as a trial run, true COARSE grade vermiculite from a source Mel checked out and approves of. Price is $20.97 for two cubic feet and includes a $5.00 credit toward shipping. As a trial run, though, it may go away or be re-priced at some point, who knows when.
Now I wish I hadn't settled for medium grade vermiculite! This will be a good opportunity for many of us, though. And I'll probably get an extra bag or two myself.

Re: Mel's new vermiculite!
$28.00 for shipping?? or $43.00 for priority?? They also have a $4 handling fee? Wow, even with a $5 discount, that's too much for my wallet!!

Re: Mel's new vermiculite!
Yeah, the medium works well enough. I wish the foundation good luck with that product though.

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Re: Mel's new vermiculite!
Wow you're right. I saw it on Firefox and it didn't properly update the shipping cart, but IE explorer shows the shipping stays rock solid at $28/unit even at five units, no discount. So that's $108 on Firefox vs. $217 on IE, quite a difference.
See, that's why I like Firefox so much!

Re: Mel's new vermiculite!
If you don't have a local source, I found this listing. $20.49 for 4 cu ft and $14.99 to ship to my Maryland address. I assume that is from their Danville, IL location and not the one in Sacramento, CA.
Greenhouse Megastore Coarse Vermiculite
They also had a bunch of other practical resources like shade cloth that I haven't seen locally. (Thou shalt no read seed catalogs or websites before New Year's Day. Thou shalt not...)

coarse vermiculite in Maryland
If you live in the Baltimore region, Meyers Seeds in Baltimore sells bags of coarse horticultural grade vermiculite from their stock. I buy mine in bulk bags of I think 4 cu yds - although I may be mistaken on the size. One bag usually is enough for me though. And you can check out their seed offerings too while you are there. They have a pretty large selection of Maryland region seed offerings and the staff is always very helpful. Just a helpful hint I hope.
