What is vermiculite?

Vermiculite is a natural mineral that expands into light, porous granules when heated. In paddock cultivation, it is mainly used to improve structure and moisture balance in the substrate. The 3rd grade variant has a slightly coarser grain, which provides extra aeration.

Why use vermiculite in paddock cultivation?

Many growers choose vermiculite because it plays a supporting role during various growing methods. It does not actively contribute nutrients, but it does help keep conditions stable.
