Looking for a few large bags, couple yards, or 50-60 cubic feet.

Anyone know where to purchase?

For that quantity, I think you'd have to ask at a garden centre. Most of the vermiculite I've seen comes in bags of 30 litres or smaller, and the 30 litre bags are $19 to $22 each. That was at places like Home Hardware and Golden Acre.

I've never seen a bag as big as you want it, but I used to buy that stuff anywhere - Canadian Tire, Wal Mart, any garden center, etc. It was never hard to find, at least in the smaller quantities.

I think the garden center in okotoks just off the highway has 50L bags of vermiculite... this was 5 years ago though

A little vermiculite goes a long way, 50 cubic feet would do your whole community?

OK. My beds are about 12 yards total volume, was thinking 10 yards soil, 2 yards vermiculite. You think that's too much?

Waaaaaay too much. Buy two bags at the garden centre. That's plenty.
