Can you use vermiculite as a grow medium ?

[growing4dummys]

just wondering?

[Gen]

yes you can. people mix it with other stuff, perlite.

Some people suggest a mix of 1/3 perlite, 1/3 vermiculite, and 1/3 peat moss

[friendowl]

verm stays too wet.
use perlite also 50-50
but why dont you use lava rocks from home depot bbq section.
cheaper and you can re-use.

Like everyone is saying. It's an additive to other grow medium and not good enough to use on it's own.
