[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 141653, member: 27677"] I was just composing a reply myself, I guess that like the stones vermiculite will give a layer of inorganic material on the bottom which avoids having wet peat being decomposed by anaerobic bacteria in a moist enclosure so it could be of some use there. Apart from the redundacy of having a moisture absorbing material (vermiculite) to absorb moisture from a moisture absorbing material (peat) it sounds like in a dry situation it could actually be dangerous if brought to the surface.
