British Columbia: Where to buy Coarse Vermiculite near Coquitlam?

This is seemingly impossible and google and phoning around has lead me nowhere.


I need about 3-4 cubic feet of coarse vermiculite, preferably bagged as I just have a car to move it in, but I can deal with bulk if its the only option.


Anyone have any ideas where I can go? I was hoping Amsterdam or Art & Knapps but no luck with either one, nor HD/Rona etc.


Thanks in advance.

 

Doesn't have to be coquitlam! Anywhere in the lowermainland really I can drive to get it....

 

Amazon.ca has 4 cubic feet of vermiculite for Cdn$100, including shipping.

 

What is “coarse” vermiculite

versus the regular vermiculite which I see often at every plant related retail incl Home Hardware, Cdn Tire, plus the real plant nursery places.

EDIT - I think I answered my own question - I did not realize that this product is part of hazmat material ship & handling
Are There Different Grades of Vermiculite?

Here is some online in Canada
Vermiculite - Grade 4, 4 Cu. Ft. Bag S-3393 - Uline

 

This is what I ended up with - seems pricey but I can't seem to even find medium or fine at any local garden stores let alone coarse.

 

It's none of my business and you certainly don't have to answer but I wonder why do you need coarse vermiculite? Just curious.

I Bet You Didn't Know These Uses for Coarse Vermiculite.

 

I'm also curious what you're using it for! :)

 

I look for vermiculite too. I live in Surrey.
I found a supplier in Chilliwack. Little bit too far away for me.
