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.

I purchase it from http://www.hummert.com/ProductDetail.aspx?Page=ProductSearchList.aspx&ID=9075&Text=perlite
We use it in both our papercrete containers and potting mixes. I have been meaning to try some vermiculite in my mix also.

Hi Lee,
Where do you buy your perlite?
