You forgot the charcoal. I have a feeling Mel has gotten a lot less anal retentive with age. I know I have!

Yikes lol for the second one I'm not even sure where I'd get those sorts of things locally
Definitely much simpler the more recent recipe. I have my vermiculite sitting in the back of the truck still ready to start mixing this week.
