That is okay, About all I put into my soil is leaves. Once in a while a little organic fertilizer. Sometimes hay that is well broken down after using it for mulch for a couple years. Alan

Vermiculite often contains asbestos. They do sell horticultural vermiculite for gardening they claim to be asbestos free, but I read that it's dangerous for the people who work in the mines and I don't use it anymore.
They say perlite is ok. We use rice hulls for seedling soil now, but don't know how that would work in papercrete.

It really IS compressed and goes a long way.

Thanks, Lee.
Next time I go to Missouri I will drop by there and pick up several bags of perlite.
Their Earth City location is right on the way.
