    You can use vermiculite straight away, it isn't necessary to pasteurize it.

    They are all right,but if you had some problems lately with contams,then better be on the safe side and microwave it first...(get it wet before microwaving) !

    You can just use tap water but boil it first.

    I use tap water straight up, but boiling it prior can't hurt. I usually microwave the material 3-5 minutes.

    I also use plain tap water for my brf mix with no problems - the town I live in is too broke to add anything to our water.

    it's ONLY ok to use straight from
    a FRESHLY OPENED bag.
    once it's been open and set around awhile
    best to sterilize it before use.
