Subject: Earth Worm Castings question

I hope Donna does not kick me out of the group or throw a blueberry pie at me

for talking off topic. I'll make this on topic. Just read further. The thing

that makes earth worm castings so great for plants is not the nutrients in the

casting. It is the bio organisms they excrete. It is similiar to acidophilis

for the soil. If you take worm castings and put them in a compost tea brewer,

it will multiply the organisms many times.

 

Do a web search for worms. The best site I know of is

:http://www.wormdigest.org/

They have instructions and a forum and other things. I think htye have

sellers of worms also. If not just go to a bait shop and get some red

wigglers.- about a pound. You jus need a plastic tub with a lid that you can

get at a big box store. Follow instructions on the website on drilling drainage

holes, etc. Feed the worms with some of the vegetarian leftovers but not citrus

or onions and the worms will be happy and you will have better soil. The

environment will also be happier and I tied this into vegetarian cooking so I

can't get kicked out now.

Earth Worm Castings question

 

Have any of you ever used Earth Worm Castings as compost in your

garden?

I've been reading a lot about it, but I am having a hard time finding a

location close by that carries can get any and the shipping is

outragous.

Thanks in advance.

yup, i've got worms for pets:). the garden just loves the stuff. last year

i had one container. this year i have two (they've reproduced). next year

i hope i have 3. i never have to buy organic fertilizer again, and can grow

all the luscious vegetables and herbs i want. this stuff isn't called

" magic " for nothing. vermicomposting is the easiest way to compost, for me

at least.
