I know just the place you want. But first I will have to check its address and then I will let you know.

I've never used vermiculite for seedlings.. Try spreading seed directly onto your bed, you'll be surprised..

Hi RR you can get it in a huge bag, I think 9Kg, from Boral Plasterboard at Browns Plains. ph 38090877. we use it in our wicking bed mixes.

But as Earthbound said, they will readily sprout direct into your GB's.

I was very surprised recently when I let a cos lettuce go to seed and the shook it out over two GB's we now have tiny lettuce coming up all over them. i'll just pull out the excess.
