I was reading a thread on here that related to sq. foot gardening and Mel's mix. Some people were having a problem finding vermiculite and peat.
This may not be an answer for everyone but it works great for me....We have a small/med. green house very near us and we know the owners. At the end of each season they take 100's of pots with and without plants in them and dump it all on a pile out back. Every year my DH takes the backhoe down and gets a scoop of that soil to add to my garden along with whatever else is going in. It is that great light fluffy potting soil type stuff with vermiculite already in it.
Just a suggestion for anyone with a greenhouse near by.
