Any chemicals I order at work arrive sealed in a jar which is sealed in a bag filled with vermiculite, which itself is sealed in a can filled with vermiculite which is sealed in another bag filled with vermiculite which is sealed in a box filled with vermiculite. laugh

I don't have any idea where non-chemists can get loads of vermiculite. Pearlite can be used, but it's not very cheap, either. I wonder if coarsely-ground charcoal would work?

Enjoy the canna lilies. Mashed with butter and garlic, people will rave about your potatoes. wink
