I tried to purchase a bag of vermiculite in a store in Ohio

I remember something a while back about prolonged exposure and
cancer risk but it wasn't garden related.


I just bought some in Tennessee. But your laws may be different. You
might be able to oder it online--the shipping should be cheap as this
stuff is very lightweight. Sand or perlite are alternatives to
starting suttings. I've used vermiculite for years, although never
inhaled nor smoked it.
