Potting Compost

[Ric.ror]

What is the name of the potting compost that begins with V?

Thanks in anticipation

[AKMild]

Are you perhaps thinking of vermiculite?

[Ric.ror]

I am indeed

Thank you so much

I'm reliably informed by my wife (keen gardener) that Vermiculite isn't compost. It is an additive for compost.

[Ric.ror]

I read that somewhere too
I bought some Lavendar seeds and they came with what I thought was Vermiculite and no other compost.

I planted them in it and most of them germinated

It's a good soil conditioner and holds masses of water which is available to plant roots.
