Vermiculite · £/litre

£1.25 inc. VAT

Vermiculite is a heat expanded mica mineral which is used in mushroom cultivation as a water reserve, to provide micro-nutrients and to aerate bulk substrates to promote faster colonisation and larger flushes.

Available in both medium and fine grades. We recommend the fine grade as it has a greater water retention capacity and is more suitable for an external casing when doing a ‘dunk and roll’ using BRF cakes.

Sterile by nature
Soft mica mineral
Mould resistant, non-toxic and odourless
Minimal dust
Provides aeration to substrate

Often used in combination with Coconut Coir to provide a simple bulk substrate for various mushrooms.

Price per litre. Sold in 3-litre bags (or 100l sacks)

FREE SHIPPING AVAILABLE ON ALL ORDERS OVER £50

Orders are typically dispatched on the same or next working day. However, please allow up to 3 working days for dispatch, plus any additional product lead times, especially during busy periods.

We ship our products in plain, unbranded, reinforced cardboard boxes with ample internal protection.

Our shipping couriers may leave parcels with a neighbor or in a safe place if no one is home to receive them. To prevent this, please select the designated signed-for service at checkout and ensure you are available to receive the parcel. Otherwise, the package will be held at your local sorting office or returned to us. Please note that we cannot be held responsible for lost, stolen, or missing parcels if the signed-for service is not chosen at checkout.

Larger orders that require multiple boxes will automatically be upgraded to DPD Local shipping, as they support multi-parcel shipments. Extremely large or heavy orders may need to be dispatched via a pallet.

If items are returned to us due to a failed delivery, a redispatch or restocking fee may apply. Please ensure that any held packages are collected from your local sorting office within 2 weeks to avoid them being returned.

We highly recommend upgrading to the ‘DPD Express Tracked’ service at checkout, as we find it to be the fastest, safest, and most reliable option. Please note that Royal Mail may occasionally experience delays in their sorting offices.

For more details, please refer to our shipping, returns and replacements policy.

Vermiculite FAQ

Answers to frequently asked questions.

How will my product be packaged and shipped?

We invest significant time and resources to ensure our parcels are securely packaged and reach you safely and undamaged.

If your item requires a box, it will be shipped in a discreet, plain, sturdy, double-walled cardboard box of appropriate size, with unbranded packaging tape and ample internal protection to prevent damage during transit. While accidents are rare, they can occasionally happen.

Smaller, sturdy, and lightweight items will be sent in plain, unbranded padded envelopes.

All pallet orders are professionally strapped, wrapped, and equipped with corner protectors.

We also strive to minimize excessive packaging to help protect the environment.
