Ideal for seed starting and soil enhancement, it supports vigorous plant growth and better garden yields. ## Description From the manufacturer Gro-Sure Vermiculite Gro-Sure Vermiculite is a naturally occurring mineral which has been heated to high temperatures to produce lightweight, absorbent flakes, perfect for a range of gardening tasks. It encourages strong, healthy seedling growth and establishment. The fine grade flakes can be used on their own or added to Gro-Sure Seed & Cutting Compost to Help compost hold onto vital plant nutrients Increase compost water retaining capacity Insulate seeds against damaging temperatures and humidity changes (when used as a seed covering) Vermiculite is a naturally forming mineral that is extracted from mines. The natural laminar structure allows the material to expand up to 30 times its own size during heating. Its natural shape once heated gives excellent insulation, drainage and aeration properties How to Use Seed sowing When sowing seeds always following the directions on the seed packet. Seeds of all sizes can be raised in just Gro-Sure Vermiculite. Alternatively seeds can be raised in a 50:50 mix of Gro-Sure Seed & Cutting Compost and Gro-Sure Vermiculite. This is particularly beneficial for very small seeds. Sow seeds thinly and evenly, making sure they are not too deep in the compost. Cover seed trays with a thin layer of Gro-Sure Vermiculite and gently moisten. Avoid over-firming. Pricking out When seedlings are large enough to handle, remove from seed trays with a dibber or pencil. Plant into Gro-Sure Seed & Cutting Compost or a mixture of this compost with 25% to 30% of Gro-Sure Vermiculite. Space seedlings well apart to allow for strong growth. Water regularly to avoid compost from drying out until seedlings are ready to be potted on. Potting on Use a mix of Gro-Sure All Purpose Compost with 25% to 30% Gro-Sure Vermiculite. This creates a light and very open structure enabling compost to absorb and retain moisture for easier re-wetting. Before transplanting plants from pots to containers it is recommended to water the plant well and allow to drain. Remove plants from their pots and place into the container, firming compost around the plant roots. Once the container is fully planted, water well and feed as appropriate. Naturally occuring lightweight material Helps retain moisture & nutrients Provides insulation for healthy seed germination Review: Nice quality, small size, perfect for sowing seeds - Having read several reviews for different brands, it would appear that the size of vermiculite particles can vary. I was pleased with the Westland Gro-Sure which comprises small even-sized particles and works well mixed with compost to make a good growing medium Review: Perfect for Seed Starting and Soil Improvement! - I recently purchased the Gro-Sure Vermiculite, 10 L for my garden, and I am incredibly pleased with it! This vermiculite is lightweight, easy to mix with compost or potting soil, and helps retain moisture in the soil, which is perfect for seed starting. It also improves aeration, ensuring my plants have the right balance of moisture and oxygen for healthy growth. I have just used it (March) to start some vegetable seeds, and the results have been fantastic. It creates a great environment for seeds to sprout without them becoming waterlogged. Plus, it's easy to handle and doesn’t get too dusty, which is a bonus. The mix of compost and Vermiculite has given my tomatoes and lupin seeds a great start. I also added it to my garden soil to improve drainage, especially for some of my more sensitive plants, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in plant health. The 10 L size is ideal for smaller to medium-sized projects, and it goes a long way. Great value for the price, and I would definitely recommend it to fellow gardeners looking to enhance their soil or start seeds with ease. ## Features - Naturally occurring material - Lightweight - Helps retain moisture - Helps retain nutrients - Provides insulation for healthy seed germination ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00B5EQCV6 | | Best Sellers Rank | 772 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 16 in Gardening Soils 32 in Garden Fertilisers | | Brand | Westland | | Brand Name | Westland | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,415 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05023377859618 | | Item Type Name | Vermiculite | | Item Weight | 1.25 Kilograms | | Item weight | 1.25 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Westlands Horticulture Ltd | | Manufacturer Part Number | 20200017 | | Model Number | 20200017 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Style | Vermiculite Soil | | Style Name | Vermiculite Soil | | Unit Count | 10000.0 millilitre | | Unit count | 10000.0 millilitre | | Volume | 10 Litres | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Westland - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 05023377859618 - **Item weight:** 1.25 Kilograms - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Style:** Vermiculite Soil ## Images ![Westland Gro-Sure 10L Vermiculite Pouch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pLG2c3-YL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What would you use perlite for compared to this?** A: Thank you for your question. Perlite can be used to open up the structure of composts to make it more free-draining. However vermiculite can be used as a seed covering over fine seeds in a seed tray, as well as a compost additive to help with drainage. **Q: Is the bag made from plastic or paper? Thanks.** A: The bag is plastic. I always use my soil and vermiculite bags, as grow pots! They’re perfect for tomatoes, courgettes etc. Just add holes and they last season after season. **Q: I am planting Spring bulbs in a planter. Should i mix this into the compost or just use compost? Thanks** A: I’m. It sure, but I think 4parts compost to 1 part vermiculite should be all right as the wetter weather is approaching anyway. I have not planted bulbs so can’t give a definite answer. Perhaps you should contact vermiculite or look on their website. **Q: Is this pure vermiculite or it contains asbestos?** A: good Afternoon I can confirm that the Vermiculite used in our products is checked by an independent laboratory for the presence of mineral fibre. Asbestos has never been detected in any of our Vermiculite and we also ensure that we purchase from reliable sources where appropriate Asbestos protocols are in place. Vermiculite is sometimes associated with Asbestos because of an incident that took place many years ago in the US. We have never known of any cases of asbestos contamination in Vermiculite in the UK or Europe. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice quality, small size, perfect for sowing seeds *by F***C on 4 May 2026* Having read several reviews for different brands, it would appear that the size of vermiculite particles can vary.
