Hello Orchidland,

    Vermiculite is widely used in the plant nursery industry as a
    potting soil amendment.  I mean by the truckloads.  They are not
    exactly careful when making up a couple tons of potting soil! 

    I find it useful when firing a hollow form in PMC to prevent
    slumping. 

    Let's use common sense and handle vermiculite with some caution to
    avoid breathing the dust, as we should be cautious with any airborn
    particles. My approach is to use moderation in all things, including
    my approach to vermiculite - which I see no justification to
    eliminate from my tool box.
