how do earthworms help compost?

Yes, it is. Vermiculite is heat expanded mica. Perfectly safe.
Hi: Verniculite is environmentally friendly and wonderful for your plant specimens. I have germinated thousands of seeds in a greenhouse and indoors. I always use a light weight potting soil - vermiculiate and humas, mixing them all together. Vermiculite is also present in a lot of different commercial fertilizers and other landscape and garden products. I would recommend using Vermiculite if you are planning on germinating seeds or even putting in the ground with your trees, shrubs, flowers or herbs. I hope this has helped some.
It in and of itself is environmentally friendly but it takes tremendous amounts of energy to produce. You're correct about the vermi-, meaning little worm, it refers to the shape of the vermiculite as it is formed and before the 'worms' get crumbled during bagging. RScott
