>Always used vermiculite in our potting mixes, recently found out that the
local vermiculite mine also had deposits of asbestos. All related
industries, including the mining operation & greenhouse folk were showing
symptoms of asbestosis. Natural organic products can have their
dangerous side. I believe the mine was out of the Libby, Mt. area.
We're supposed to be Zone 5 here but the weather is still in the 70's and
no sign of frost. None of us can believe it!
