Hints and Tips
Check Home Depot to locate vermiculite and perlite. You
might find it in their garden center. If not, try pool supply
(chemicals, etc.) and agriculture supply (fertilizer, etc.)
stores. The large bag costs less than buying lots of small
bags from a nursery.
We recommend using a dust mask when working with the
loose fill.
Caution
. Perlite can be coated with silicone to
make it slide easily into block cores, where it's commonly
used as an insulator. Make sure you locate plain,
horticultural grade perlite, not the construction grade. The
insulative properties are nearly identical.
