1.3K views · 31 reactions | Vermiculite is a popular recommendation to add to your garden soil...but what exactly is it? And what is the point of using it in your garden? When I mentored under Mel Bartholomew of Square Foot Gardening, he was BIG on vermiculite. Here's what I've learned. Hope you enjoy and share with a friend who would get value out of this info :). | Epic Gardening | Facebook

In our vertical farm, we use vermiculite to increase the germination rate of our seeds. Vermiculite is a naturally occurring mineral that retains excess water and nutrients, improving the quality of your seedlings. Putting vermiculite on top of your seeds during the propagation process is a crucial factor when growing crops on aeroponics towers. #verticalfarming #vermiculite #germination #aeroponics #seedlings #hydroponics #seeds #farming | Agrotonomy Tower Farms
