Since Vermiculite is no longer being made, what would be a good alternative for making rock bases. I mix the vermiculite with plaster and some powdered coloring and then paste it on burlap over wire mesh. Anyone have any good ideas for a substitute. Thanks Eric

How about the cellulose insulation in bags. its ground paper and does the same thing as a filler.
Try using ground corn cob, cork, or my preference sand.
try bunch whosaile in texas or any plant farms they use it in potting soil
this is also an agricultural soil aerator similor to vermiculite, but it is white in color, lightweight, and can even be used (damp) to pack inside a bass hide as a "stuffing" material.
