I live in India and vermiculite is cheaply available where I am... but isn't it really just compost? Couldn't you make it on your own, with a few worms added in to make it 'vermy'? :P Great blog btw!

What variety!No bug problems yet this year. The only pest problem I have is birds. They keep pecking my sun sugar tomatoes. They also ate my strawberries last year.My biggest problem this year is that I didn't bake my soil in the off-season. So, I've got a bunch of annoying weeds that I have to keep plucking. Next year, I'll herbicide and bake so that my dirt is fresh for the growing season.— Farmer Matt Charlie, it sounds as though you have an amazing garden. What variety!

My biggest problem this year is that I didn’t bake my soil in the off-season. So, I’ve got a bunch of annoying weeds that I have to keep plucking. Next year, I’ll herbicide and bake so that my dirt is fresh for the growing season.
