The turning of the worm-

Okay, so it is from my site, I still thought it would be good to share.

I decided to try them mid-way through the growing season last year and everything took off like gangbusters. At first, I made "worm tea" but then decided that was a hassle and, after some research, determined I could just sprinkle them on as a pick-me-up fertilizer. It's nice for a novice like me to know I can't over-feed or burn using worm castings.

I even sprouted some seeds in them. I had some flower seeds (name escaping me now) that had refused to germinate in the ground or in a pot, so I tried them in 100% worm castings and they popped right up.

This year, I'll be using them to revitalize the potting soil I saved from last season (for flower pots-- veggies will get a mix of new soil, castings and compost.)

It's magic poop, indeed.

We've been using them in the cannabis growing industry forever, and I've always used my "left overs" in my veggie garden boxes.

I have a buddy with a few acres and he's setting up several worm composting boxes. Can't wait to get my hands on some of that poop.

There are those that swear by fish or bat poop, for me nothing beats the lowly worm.

I was sure would be both year-round warm enough AND curious dog-proof. :)

I'm excited! for the price of one bag of castings, we set up the whole thing using 2 rubbermaid containers. :)
We'll be getting the worms tomorrow, I just have to figure out where.

Good luck with your box!

every bit of knowledge helps. :)

told us of a study done that showed worm castings to be the best fertilizer there is.
It beat out every other type of fertilizer by a country mile.
