This will probably get me in trouble!
IV been reading about this vermiculite and some other product that expends and retain water, IV said before that impaction isn’t something aim concerned with, however with such a material that doubles triples or more! When absorbing liquid I can’t help but wonder if it’s safe. Personally I who’d never use this in any substrate, however maybe aim missing out on something?
