I found this page hugely helpful. Someone should pay Albey for the good work he does

All you do is thoroughly wet down the vermiculite. After its nice and wet simply get a big handful and squeeze it in your fist until it stops dripping water yet still clinges together. Once you have that consistency with the vermiculite its perfect. Its that simple!

i use a digital postal scale and add (almost) equal parts water and vermiculite, (maybe just a little more virmiculite) seems to work pretty good!
Good luck!
