Is It course vermiculite?

cooldad65 answered this perfectly. My bag came wrapped in shipping ceran wrap to prevent bag tearing.

Yes, it is coarse, but there is powder in the bag. We think it might have broken up some during shipping.

Yes, the pieces are course around 1/16" square'ish. I bought a different brand from home depot and theirs was so small almost like sand.

Our clay is sourced from a mine near Death Valley. Yes, we always use the same source. The clay is not mined from the surface level, like cheaper clays, where it is exposed to and can absorb environmental contaminants, but rather from a vein deep below the surface, protected from the elements. We've had it tested both for mineral content and microbial content and it's naturally PURE! Thanks for asking.

The company is based in Illinois. There is no lead in the clay used, its a special clay that is Eco friendly and had a good mineral composition that's actually good.

I did not buy Vermillion so I can't tell you for sure. I bought the clear and the Citrus.

yes. this question is answered on the Seachem Flourite FAQ: A: "Flourite®will work fine with an UGF. Flourite®is ideally sized and has a clay based composition (including minerals such as iron and manganese) that is ideal for plant growth. Flourite®will not soften or decompose to an unsuitable state"

I do not have the knowledge to answer the question. I use the dolomite for growing veggies in my Earth Boxes.

You want to skip the Georgia clay. You want to use a good soil with materials to allow easy drainage, (sand, perlite etc) along with organic materials. A good bag plotting soil from a garden center. Because the soil is going to allow the water to flow thru, you will need to water often for best results. The cloth pots have worked great for me and I have ordered more.

The simple answer is yes. The flames on my unit reach up to 10 inches above the rim. But the flames are like a propane fire, not hot coals like a wood fire. That said, there is more than enough heat to roast hot dogs. However, I would not want to drop grease into the vermiculite granules on a regular basis.

Yes. if you go to farmtek.com look for item 105068 you will see another soil test kit that we looked at.

I had to look that up. :) Yes, this is not raw. It has been expanded/exfoliated. At least according to what I read at duper mining site.

The material is mullite, similar to ceramic kiln shelves. The color you see in the image is not accurate.

Im not sure,...but I always add perlite to help aerate soil better, it does compact without it. Depends on what you want to grow in it. A little "hot" so watch soil ph to match what you grow.

Depends if your soil pipe is iron. If so, it will. Soil pipe can be clay tile (older homes), pvc, iron, or reinforced concrete.

It's pretty standard, you know, dirt, hard to say more exactly without a formal chemical assay. Is there something specific for which you're looking, either in high or low proportions?From observation, it definitely has a higher proportion of peat than most soils, and most of the aggregate is quite fine wood chips. There is very little in the way of gravel and/or sand as far as I've observed.Perhaps if you can ask more specifically with regards to what you need, someone could say.

I'm not sure. They have an 800#- 800-367-7258. This link give a mineral analysis on the clay. http://www.redmondtrading.com/pdfs/RedmondClay_MineralAnalysis.pdf

I would guess it is. I don't know for sure what material it is, but it has the feel of formica. I love mine!

Just to clarify, it is my understanding that the old "bicycle" packaging is zeolite (exothermic), and the new red packaging is kaolin (non-exothermic mineral). If someone from the manufacturer would please confirm that the packaging reflects the contents it would be helpful.
